Across the region, Asia-Pacific markets rebounded after experiencing weakness in recent days. This positive sentiment was driven by a statement from U.S. President Donald Trump indicating the possibility of troop withdrawals in the near future.

South Korea’s Kospi index led the gains with a surge of nearly 5% at the opening session. Meanwhile, the small-cap Kosdaq index climbed 4.13%, supported by a 48.3% year-on-year increase in South Korea’s exports in March, exceeding market expectations.

In Japan, the Nikkei 225 index rose by 3.51%, while the Topix gained 3.17%. Positive sentiment was also supported by the Tankan survey released by the Bank of Japan.

For today’s trading, Indonesia’s financial market will focus on several key domestic data releases, including inflation, trade balance, and the Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI). From the global side, market participants will also monitor improvements in China’s manufacturing activity and the weakening U.S. labor market.

However, the market remains overshadowed by challenges in the energy sector. While the government has confirmed that non-subsidized fuel prices remain unchanged as of April 1, 2026, and domestic energy supplies are secure, volatility in global energy prices due to the Middle East conflict continues to pose a risk.

Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia stated on Tuesday (March 31, 2026) that the government has no plans to increase non-subsidized fuel prices at the beginning of April 2026.

He emphasized that there has been no price adjustment for Pertadex or high-quality diesel, and that this statement aligns with what was previously conveyed by the State Secretary. However, the government will continue to review the policy in line with global price developments.

During the same occasion, Bahlil also assured that domestic energy supplies remain secure. He noted that reserves of fuel—including diesel, gasoline, aviation fuel, and LPG—are currently above the national minimum threshold.

According to him, despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and efficiency measures taken by other countries, Indonesia remains in a relatively safe position thanks to presidential directives regarding energy reserves.

Furthermore, Bahlil confirmed that the government has secured alternative sources for oil and LPG imports that were previously sourced from the Middle East. This step was taken to ensure that disruptions in the region do not directly affect national energy needs.

He stressed that these alternative supplies are already in place, eliminating concerns over the country’s energy availability.
