Indonesian stocks climbed 51 points, or 0.8%, to 6,319 in early Wednesday trading, snapping a two-session decline as infrastructure, energy, basic materials and cyclical shares advanced. Sentiment improved after July car sales surged 33%, signaling a rebound in the automotive sector, while President Prabowo's nomination of acting BI Governor Destry Damayanti as the sole candidate to succeed Perry Warjiyo was viewed as supportive of policy continuity. Gains were capped by overnight weakness on Wall Street, caution ahead of the MSCI August 2026 Review later in the day, with rebalancing effective after August 31, and lingering domestic pressure after June retail sales fell for a third consecutive month on weaker discretionary spending. Indosat rose 8.4%, Petrindo Jaya Kreasi gained 5.6%, Bumi Resources added 2.8% and Japfa Comfeed climbed 1.8%.
