The momentum of rising commodity sector prices was the driving force for strengthening the Jakarta Composite Index at the opening of trading Thursday (15/7) by 7.44 points.

"There is an accumulation momentum in the metal commodity sector which is still recording an increase," said PT Samuel Sekuritas Research in Jakarta.

The JCI has the potential to be corrected again today, driven by investor concerns that the Emergency activity restriction PPKM will be extended again in line with the lack of a decline in the surge in domestic COVID-19 cases, as well as strong pressure on the Indonesian economy.

The JCI at the opening of trading this Thursday opened up 7.44 points (0.12%) to 5,986.65. Meanwhile, the leading stock index LQ45 rose 3.17 points (0.38%) to 830.97.
