South Korea's consumer prices rose 2 percent year-on-year in January, marking the slowest pace in five months.

However, prices for some agricultural and livestock products continued to surge sharply.

The Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) opened up 39.71 points or 0.44 percent to 9,072.29 on Thursday morning, amid market concerns over threats to the independence of the US Federal Reserve due to President Donald Trump's attacks on Chairman Jerome Powell. These worries are reinforced by Producer Price Index (PPI) data showing price pressures, potentially leading the Fed to hold or raise interest rates. However, analysts view this strength as a signal of an investment shift toward a supercycle supporting Indonesia's stock market throughout 2026.
