Indonesia Shares Rise 0.6% After Holiday Break -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-25 12:43

0443 GMT - Indonesia's Jakarta Composite Index rises 0.6% to 7151.02 as local markets reopen after a long holiday break. The dollar falls 0.5% against the rupiah at 16895. The energy shock unleashed by the Middle East conflict has driven governments in Asia to introduce measures to manage the crisis. Indonesia authorities are considering measures to curb energy use, such as work-from-home policies, limits on nonessential travel and hybrid schooling, DBS analyst Radhika Rao says in a note. Fuel reserves are adequate for now but below recommended global benchmarks, she notes. While full pass-through to pump prices is unlikely, rising input costs could lift inflation, reducing scope for further monetary easing this year, she adds. (yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
