Jakarta (ANTARA) – Indonesia's benchmark stock index opened slightly higher on Tuesday, tracking gains across global markets as investors weighed signs of easing tensions between Iran and Israel.The Jakarta Composite Index gained 2.55 points, or 0.05 percent, to 5,344.69, while the LQ45 index rose 1.22 points, or 0.23 percent, to 528.30.”Dividend investing remains an attractive defensive strategy, particularly when short-term capital gains are difficult to achieve,” Kiwoom Sekuritas Head of Research Liza Camelia Suryanata said.Investor sentiment improved after US President Donald Trump continued pushing for a ceasefire between Iran and Israel and said negotiations with Tehran remained ongoing.Although both sides have paused attacks, tensions remain elevated.Trump also said US sanctions and restrictions on Iran would remain until a broader agreement is reached.Oil prices moved lower alongside the geopolitical developments, with West Texas Intermediate crude falling 0.46 percent to US$90.88 a barrel and Brent declining 0.35 percent to US$93.92.Investors are also awaiting key US inflation data, including the May Consumer Price Index due June 10 and the Producer Price Index scheduled for June 11.Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves fell to US$144.9 billion at the end of May from US$146.2 billion a month earlier, largely due to external debt payments and rupiah stabilization measures.Meanwhile, Danantara remained in focus after Chief Operating Officer Dony Oskaria said PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia would charge service fees rather than take margins from strategic commodity exports.Investor attention has also shifted to Government Regulation No. 19/2026, which allows the state budget to be used for capital injections into Danantara's investment holding company.
