Jakarta (B2B) - Indeks Harga Saham Gabungan (IHSG) di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) hari ini ditutup turun 53,65 poin atau 1,20 persen ke posisi 4.406,76, sedangkan indeks 45 saham unggulan (LQ45) melemah 12,17 poin (1,62 persen) ke level 737,04, didorong pelaku pasar asing yang kembali melakukan lepas saham.

"IHSG kembali turun cukup dalam seiring dengan aksi jual yang dilakukan investor asing. Aksi jual asing ini juga terefleksikan dengan kurs nilai tukar rupiah yang melemah, aksi jual investor asing tercatat mencapai Rp640 miliar," kata analis Panin Sekuritas, Purwoko Sartono di Jakarta, Rabu (25/9).

Ia menambahkan sementara faktor eksternal yang mempengaruhi indeks regional adalah pemerintah AS yang gagal menyepakati anggaran belanja negara seiring dengan dana anggaran yang hampir mendekati batas. Selain itu ada beberapa data ekonomi AS yang kurang bagus juga menambah sentimen kejatuhan.

Menurut dia, meski belum ada sinyal pembalikan arah pada pergerakan indeks BEI, akan tetapi masih terbuka potensi pembelian untuk jangka pendek seiring dengan penurunan yang cukup besar dalam beberapa hari terakhir.

"Kami proyeksikan IHSG BEI akan bergerak pada kisaran 4.320--4.450 poin pada Kamis besok (26/9)," katanya.

Head of Research PT Valbury Asia Securities, Alfiansyah menambahkan investor kembali mencermati perkembangan kebijakan stimulus AS menyusul perbedaan pernyataan mengenai waktu pelaksanaannya, sehingga menimbulkan ketidakpastian di pasar.

Ia mengemukakan bahwa beberapa kalangan ekonom mengatakan bahwa pemangkasan stimulus the Fed bisa dilakukan pada Oktober 2013, sementara lainnya memperkirakan pada Desember 2013.

"Namun kelanjutan stimulus itu bisa jadi akan tergantung kepada ketua The Fed baru, dimana pergantian pimpinan The Fed akan dilakukan setelah 31 Januari 2014," paparnya.

Sementara, transaksi perdagangan saham di BEI tercatat sebanyak 128.027 kali dengan volume mencapai 3,483 miliar lembar saham senilai Rp4,814 triliun. Efek yang mengalami kenaikan sebanyak 85 saham, melemah 194 saham, dan yang tidak bergerak harganya sebanyak 103 saham.

Bursa regional, di antaranya indeks Hang Seng menguat 40,60 poin (0,78 persen) ke level 23.198,52, indeks Nikkei-225 turun 112,08 poin (0,76 persen) ke level 14.620,53, dan Straits Times melemah 2,50 poin (0,08 persen) ke posisi 3.211,75.

Jakarta (B2B) - The index of the Indonesian Stock Exchange today closed at 1.20 percent lower at 4,406.76 points with index of 45 most liquid stocks down 1.62 percent to 737.04 points. Indonesia`s benchmark stock index was still on the decline on Wednesday on share sales by foreign investors.

"The BEI index fell quite sharply with share sales by foreign investors. The share sales was also reflected in the falling value of rupiah against the US dollar," Panin Sekuritas` analyst Purwoko Sartono said in Jakarta, Wednesday (25/9).

Purwoko said foreign investors sold Rp640 billion worth of shares on Wednesday. External factor putting pressure on the regional indexes including BEI index was US failure to reach an agreement on its state budget which almost reached the ceiling.

Some US economic data being worse than expected also contributed to negative sentiment in the market, Purwoko said. There was no signs that the time has been ripe for a reversal in the index movement but there is still potential buy back in short term after price fall in the past several days.

"We predict the BEI index would hover around 4,320--4,450 points on Thursday," he said.

Head of Research of PT Valbury Asia Securities, Alfiansyah said investors` attention is drawn to the US central bank policy after uncertainty over time when the stimulus begins to taper off.

Some economists forecast that the stimulus would begin to taper off next months, while others predicted The Fed would begin to cut its stimulus in December.

However, it is also possible that change in the stimulus police would wait until the change in the leadership of The Fed.

Replacement of the chairman of the Fed is expected only on January 31 in 2014.

On Wednesday there were 128,027 trade transactions with 3.483 billion shares valued at Rp4.814 trillion changing hands. Gainers were outnumbered by decliners by 85 to 194 with 103 share flat

Regional markets such as Hang Seng recorded 0.78 percent increase in index to 23,198.52 units, with Nikkei-225 index down 0.76 percent to 14,620.53 points and that of Straits Times falling 0.08 percent to 3,211.75 points.
