Jakarta Composite Index rose as much as 1.2% on Thursday to 6,413.06, bringing gains to about 20% from the early‑June low and signaling a move toward bull‑market territory. Market sentiment has been supported by S&P Global Ratings’ affirmation of Indonesia’s sovereign rating and outlook, a retreat in oil prices and Bank Indonesia’s consecutive 50bp hikes in June. MNC Sekuritas said the index is trading in an established rising channel, with recent rupiah stabilization further boosting sentiment.

TASNIM NEWS quoted an Iranian military source saying Iran has ironclad resolve to assert sovereignty in the Strait of Hormuz and will not allow the waterway to be used as a tool against it. The source said vessels may transit safely only if passage is coordinated with Iran and conducted under Iranian arrangements; otherwise Tehran will not relinquish control and will take measures it deems necessary to secure the strait long term. The source warned that if the U.S. strikes any Iranian bridge or power plant, Iran will retaliate against regional infrastructure and bridges, including energy facilities in which the U.S. has interests. He added that U.S. officials should by now be convinced, based on the past ten days, that Iran can strike any target it selects, and that any Trump gamble will fail again.
