The model is applied to examine the volatility spillover of foreign exchange market toward each sector indices in Indonesia. The findings of the research are that USD/IDR fluctuation gives the most significant exposure to Indonesian stock market’s of JSX indices as well as on the majority sectors, followed by JPY/IDR fluctuation and EUR/IDR fluctuation, while GBP/IDR does not give a significant volatility spillover toward the sector.
