        "summary": "The rupiah weakened against the US dollar on Thursday, closing at Rp 17,845 after briefly touching Rp 17,906. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, coupled with rising oil prices, are driving inflation fears and prompting expectations that the US Federal Reserve will maintain high interest rates for longer. Currency analysts cite external and domestic pressures as key factors behind the depreciation.",

The currency ended at Rp\n17,845 per US dollar, a decline of 44.5 points or 0.25 per cent from the\nprevious close. It briefly touched a low of Rp 17,906 around 10:58 am\nWIB.<\/p>\n<p>Currency and commodities analyst Ibrahim Assuaibi said external and\ndomestic factors pressured the rupiah today. US President Donald Trump\nthreatened to attack Oman, a nation facilitating Iran-US peace talks,\nwhile Ukraine has requested US assistance to counter Russia\u2019s attack on\nKyiv involving hundreds of drones and missiles.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This has sharply heightened political tensions in both the Middle\nEast and Eastern Europe,\u2019 he told media on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Rising oil prices are expected to fuel global inflation, including in\nthe US, increasing expectations that the US Federal Reserve will\nmaintain high interest rates for longer. On Wednesday, Federal Reserve\nBank of Minneapolis President Neel Kashkari stated that the central\nbank\u2019s main concern is higher inflation rather than a deteriorating\nlabour market.<\/p>",
