TEMPO.CO, Jakarta-The Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) opened this morning, June 21, with a 0.2 percent gain (9.91 bps) at 4,873.44. Yesterday, the index also closed strong with a gain of 0.5 percent to 4.863,53.
NH Korindo Securities chief researcher Reza Priyambada said global indexes bounced back to their safe territories after the Brexit issue subsided on Monday. The JCI also benefited from the sentiment.
For today, Reza predicts the JCI to re-test its resistance level.
From the homeland, the rupiah rebound and the central bank's monetary easing plans are expected to motivate investors to buy and support the JCI's uptrend, "especially in the trade sector."
Reza hopes investors won't seek profits from global exchanges' strengthening, as it would weaken the JCI. "Stay alert for lingering sentiments," he said.
Today, Reza predicts the index to move in a support level of 4.816-4.839 and a resistant level of 4.886-4.899.
"The JCI is showing signs of a strong reversal following investors' purchases," he said.
