Jakarta market opens steady amid broader ASEAN caution

Indonesia’s stock market began Thursday on a steady footing as investors weighed recent capital market reforms and global risk sentiment.
The index tracked local equities with the regular trading session kicking off without sharp directional moves, even as Jakarta’s benchmark has been sensitive to external macro drivers in recent weeks. Capital markets have been under scrutiny following reforms aimed at raising free float requirements for listed firms, a shift that could unlock significant new supply over time.

Domestic financials and consumer staples saw quiet interest, while traders also monitored regional cues from Hong Kong and Tokyo for risk appetite signals.
