Foreign investors posted a net buy (IDR 347.2 billion) on the Indonesia Stock Exchange on Friday as concern about Donald Trump's new political and economic policies stabilized (immigration policy, protectionism, and US relations with Mexico, Australia and Iran), while concern about a looming Fed Funds Rate hike eased. There is also optimism about the positive corporate earnings reports of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange.
