Summary
The Jakarta Composite Index climbed as much as 0.8% on Monday, bringing its advance from an early-June low to 20% and pushing Indonesian stocks back near bull-market territory.

PT Bank Central Asia and PT Merdeka Copper Gold were the biggest contributors to the latest gain, underscoring broad support for the rebound.
The move suggests economic concerns that weighed on Indonesian equities earlier in the summer are receding, at least for now.
