Foreign Investment Surge in Indonesian Market - Early 2026

Market Performance Highlights

The Indonesian Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) demonstrated strong performance in early 2026, reaching the 9,000 level intraday on January 8, 2026, despite closing slightly lower. This market movement was accompanied by significant foreign investment inflows. Foreign investors recorded a net buy of Rp 950.23 billion across all markets on that day, bringing the year-to-date net buy total to Rp 1.97 trillion.

Sectoral Focus: Mining Stocks

Data from RTI showed that foreign investors heavily accumulated mining stocks, particularly shares of PT Aneka Tambang Tbk (ANTM). The company saw a jumbo net buy of Rp 936.8 billion from foreign investors between January 1 and January 8, 2026. This substantial investment in ANTM highlights the strong confidence of foreign investors in Indonesia's mining sector, particularly in state-owned enterprises.

Market Implications

The significant inflow of foreign funds into the Indonesian stock market in early 2026 indicates growing investor confidence in the country's financial markets. The focus on mining stocks suggests that foreign investors are particularly optimistic about commodity prices and the prospects of Indonesian mining companies. As the year progresses, market participants will be watching closely to see if this trend continues and which other sectors might attract foreign investment.
