Jakarta - The Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) at the opening of trading on Thursday (13/1) opened up 12.91 points amid mixed regional and global stock market sentiments.

"With the emergence of mixed sentiments from regional and global exchanges, today the JCI is expected to move sideways," said PT Samuel Sekuritas Research in Jakarta.

The JCI at the opening of trading this Thursday opened up 12.91 points (0.19%) to 6,659.97. Meanwhile, the leading stock index, LQ45, rose 3.43 points (0.36%) to 947.36.

The US stock market closed higher overnight in global markets as the Dow Jones index rose 0.1%, the S&P500 rose 0.3%, and the Nasdaq rose 0.2%.

Although the release of US inflation data for the December period showed a reasonably high increase (7%, the highest since 1982), the market seems to have expected it.

Meanwhile, this morning's Asian bourses, including the Nikkei, opened down 0.5% and the Kospi, up 0.3%.
