The sectoral indexes at the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) play a crucial role in understanding the stock market. These indexes, which track the performance of specific groups of companies within the same industry or economic sector, provide valuable insights into the overall health of the economy. Whether it’s the finance, energy, property, or technology sector, each index represents the collective price movement of selected listed companies, enabling investors to analyze sector-specific trends and make informed investment decisions. The IDX maintains multiple sectoral indexes to accurately reflect the diversity of the Indonesian economy, updating them regularly to ensure their relevance.

As of June 18, 2025, the sectoral index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange varied, with some sectoral indexes experiencing negative returns while others showed positive returns. Those sectors experiencing a negative return are the raw material sector at -0.36%, the non-primary sector at -1.13%, the primary sector was at -0.74%, the financial sector was at -0.73%, the health sector was at -0.78% and the technology sector was at -0.75%. Meanwhile, the sectors that experienced positive returns were the energy sector (0.27%), the industrial sector (0.33%), the infrastructure sector (0.31%), the property sector (0.66%), and the transportation sector (0.9%).  The negative returns in sectors such as raw materials, non-primary consumer goods, primary consumer goods, financials, healthcare, and technology in the Indonesia Stock Exchange are likely a reflection of a combination of weakening domestic consumption, global economic uncertainty, and sector-specific challenges. Understanding these sector-specific challenges is crucial for investors and financial analysts to make informed decisions. The decline in raw materials may be tied to falling commodity prices or reduced demand from key trading partners. The decline in the financial sector may be attributed to rising interest rates or tightening credit conditions, which put pressure on banking margins. Healthcare and technology may be affected by limited innovation pipelines or declining investor appetite for high-growth but high-risk sectors. In contrast, positive returns in the energy, industrial, infrastructure, property, and transportation sectors suggest investor confidence in domestic development initiatives, rising infrastructure spending, and more vigorous logistics activity. The transportation sector’s 0.9% gain—the highest—may reflect increased mobility and logistics demand post-pandemic or due to government stimulus. Overall, capital flowed toward industries tied to real economy growth and essential services, while more cyclical or speculative sectors saw pullbacks.
