JAKARTA, March 25, 2026 – Gold prices stabilized following a sharp sell-off in the previous session, while oil markets remained volatile amid shifting geopolitical signals.
Data from the Jakarta Futures Exchange (JFX) showed Loco Gold rising 1.50% to close at 4,473.05, signaling a consolidation phase as investors reassessed positions against a backdrop of a stronger U.S. dollar and elevated Treasury yields.
Silver advanced 2.02% to 69.159, suggesting that demand for safe-haven assets remains relatively resilient despite evolving market conditions.
In the energy sector, oil prices initially came under pressure after Donald Trump signaled the possibility of renewed negotiations between the United States and Iran, raising expectations of easing geopolitical tensions and a potential increase in global oil supply.
However, market movements pointed to mixed signals. JFX data showed Light Crude (NYMEX) climbing 4.79% to 92.35, while Brent crude (ICE) gained 4.55% to 104.49, underscoring persistent volatility in energy markets.
On Wall Street, major indexes ended lower as investors engaged in profit-taking. The Nasdaq declined 0.80%, the S&P 500 fell 0.43%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.23%.
Asian markets, in contrast, posted stronger gains. Japan’s Nikkei 225 surged 3.01% and South Korea’s KOSPI rose 3.20%, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng edged down 0.19%. In Europe, the FTSE 100 added 0.52%.
The divergence across asset classes highlights ongoing uncertainty driven by macroeconomic factors and geopolitical developments.
Transaction data from the Jakarta Futures Exchange (JFX) also indicated active participation from domestic brokers. PT Trident Pro Futures ranked eighth in multilateral trading activity, highlighting its growing role in Indonesia’s futures market.
