STOCK MARKET - JAKARTA. Various positive sentiments can drive the growth of the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) in the second half of 2019.
The first sentiment, the official victory of Joko Widodo and Ma'ruf Amin as the next president and vice president reduced political risk. Now market participants are witnessing the formation of a new cabinet.
The market will assess whether the new cabinet can polish economic conditions for the better or not. "Market participants only need to look at government policies and cabinet structures," said Head of Research at Infovesta Utama, Wawan Hendrayana.
Another sentiment, the trade war will still affect stock market movements. Last weekend US and Chinese officials agreed to return to negotiations over the trade war.
