The Jakarta Composite Index gained 0.06 percent to 4,935.56 points on Thursday (05.06).


Besides concern about Indonesia's USD $1.96 billion April 2014 trade deficit, higher May 2014 inflation and political uncertainty ahead of the July presidential election, Indonesia's currency was negatively affected by the weakening Euro as investors prefer to wait & see ahead of the European Central Bank meeting.

Bank Indonesia's benchmark rupiah rate (Jakarta Interbank Spot Dollar Rate, abbreviated JISDOR) depreciated 0.54 percent to IDR 11,874 against the US dollar.
