Just noticed the Indonesia bourse bounced back pretty hard on Thursday after getting hammered earlier in the week. The JCI was down over 7% but managed to claw back 133 points to close around 7,710. Banks and cement stocks led the recovery, which is usually a good sign for the broader market. But here's the thing - everyone's still worried about energy prices spiraling out of control. Crude oil jumped another 8.7% to $81 a barrel, already up 21% since Monday. The whole Asia-Pacific bourse sector is feeling the pressure from this, and frankly, it's not looking great for Friday. Wall Street got crushed yesterday too - Dow dropped 1.6%, NASDAQ and S&P both in the red. The Middle East tensions are really spooking traders right now, with threats about the Strait of Hormuz. So yeah, the Indonesia bourse had a decent day, but I'm not betting on it holding up if oil keeps climbing and global sentiment stays this negative.
