        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The rupiah opened trading after the Eid\nal-Adha holiday with a depreciation against the US dollar on Friday (29\nMay 2026). According to Refinitiv data, the rupiah opened at Rp17,800\nper US dollar, a 0.14% depreciation. This depreciation continues the\npressure on the rupiah from the last trading session before the holiday.\nOn Tuesday (26 May 2026), the rupiah closed down 0.25% at Rp17,775 per\nUS dollar, marking the weakest closing level against the US dollar in\nhistory. Meanwhile, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the\ngreenback\u2019s strength against six major currencies, remained stable. At\n9:00 AM WIB, the DXY stood at 98.974, following a 0.19% decline in the\nprevious session. The rupiah\u2019s movement in the final trading session of\nthe week will still be influenced by global dollar dynamics. The US\ndollar weakened globally after reports that the US and Iran had reached\nan agreement to extend the ceasefire. However, similar reports in the\npast three months have not fully ended the conflict. In recent weeks,\nthe US dollar\u2019s movement has been heavily influenced by developments in\nthe Middle East conflict. The dollar tends to strengthen when markets\nperceive the conflict as likely to prolong, and weaken when signals of\nde-escalation emerge. According to several sources, the latest agreement\nis said to extend the ceasefire for 60 days. The deal also allows\ntraffic to resume through the Strait of Hormuz. Finance Minister Purbaya\nYudhi Sadewa said the rupiah level around Rp17,800 per US dollar does\nnot reflect Indonesia\u2019s economic fundamentals. \u2018It doesn\u2019t make sense,\u2019\nPurbaya said at the Directorate General of Taxes, Ministry of Finance,\non Wednesday (27 May 2026). According to Purbaya, Indonesia\u2019s economic\nfundamentals remain strong, with growth above 5%, inflation within\ntargets, and a controlled current account deficit. However, the US\ndollar\u2019s strength due to global uncertainty has pressured the rupiah and\nother currencies. The government and Bank Indonesia have implemented\nseveral measures to curb the rupiah\u2019s depreciation, including efforts to\ncontrol US dollar supply domestically. Purbaya stated the government\nwould take additional steps to support rupiah strength, and noted\nincoming foreign investor activity as a key factor in maintaining\ninvestor confidence in Indonesia.
