IHSG Breaks a New Record Above 9,000 — Bullish Momentum Still Intact

The Indonesia Composite Index (IHSG) made history again in Thursday’s trading session (Jan 15, 2026), decisively breaking through the psychological 9,000 level. The rally has been driven by strong foreign capital inflows and growing optimism around early-year corporate earnings.

As of the midday session, IHSG was up 0.45% (+41.09 points) at 9,073.67. From the opening bell, the index stayed firmly in positive territory, reaching an intraday high of 9,085.18. Market activity was notably robust, with trading volume exceeding 8.4 billion shares.

🔑 Key Drivers: Consumer & Banking Sectors

Today’s gains were led by the Non-Primary Consumer sector, which surged sharply, followed by the Financial sector, which continues to dominate index movement. Large-cap banking stocks such as BBRI and BMRI were among the main drivers behind the rally.

On the domestic sentiment side, the government’s plan to adjust excise tax tariffs on tobacco products lifted cigarette-related stocks across the board. Adding to investor confidence, the rupiah strengthened to around IDR 16,862 per USD, providing further support to the equity market.

🔮 Outlook for the Next Few Days

Given the current momentum, several analysts believe IHSG still has room to move higher through the end of the week. From a technical perspective, the index appears to be in the early phase of a strengthening trend, with potential to test the 9,077–9,100 range.

According to research from MNC Sekuritas, strong buying volume signals that market interest remains high. That said, investors are reminded to stay alert for short-term profit-taking, as the index has already posted significant gains over the past few sessions.

Key levels to watch (through tomorrow):

  • Support: 8,908 – 8,852

  • Resistance: 9,077 – 9,120

📌 Stocks to Watch

Analysts highlight several stocks for short-term monitoring:

  • BREN (Barito Renewables Energy)

  • BRIS (Bank Syariah Indonesia)

  • PGEO (Pertamina Geothermal Energy)

A buy-on-weakness strategy is recommended if technical pullbacks occur.

With stable domestic economic fundamentals and continued support from the January Effect, Indonesia’s capital market is expected to maintain its positive momentum as we move toward the close of January 2026.

What’s your take — are we heading for a clean breakout above 9,100, or is a healthy correction overdue?
