Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia \u2014 The rupiah exchange rate closed weaker\nagainst the US dollar on trading Monday (30\/3\/2026). This was in line\nwith the strengthening of the US dollar in the global market.<\/p>\n

According to Refinitiv data, the Garuda currency closed the first\ntrading day of the week with a 0.15% weakening to the level of\nRp16,985\/US.T<\/em>h<\/em>i<\/em>s<\/em>p<\/em>o<\/em>s<\/em>i<\/em>t<\/em>i<\/em>o<\/em>n<\/em>l<\/em>e<\/em>a<\/em>v<\/em>e<\/em>s<\/em>t<\/em>h<\/em>e<\/em>r<\/em>u<\/em>p<\/em>i<\/em>a<\/em>h<\/em>j<\/em>u<\/em>s<\/em>t<\/em>a<\/em>v<\/em>e<\/em>r<\/em>y<\/em>t<\/em>h<\/em>i<\/em>n<\/em>m<\/em>a<\/em>r<\/em>g<\/em>i<\/em>n<\/em>f<\/em>r<\/em>o<\/em>m<\/em>t<\/em>h<\/em>e<\/em>p<\/em>s<\/em>y<\/em>c<\/em>h<\/em>o<\/em>l<\/em>o<\/em>g<\/em>i<\/em>c<\/em>a<\/em>l<\/em>l<\/em>e<\/em>v<\/em>e<\/em>l<\/em>o<\/em>f<\/em>R<\/em>p<\/em>17,\u2006000\/U<\/em>S<\/em><\/span>.\nThis close also becomes the weakest level for the rupiah in the last two\nweeks.<\/p>\n

Throughout the trading session, pressure on the rupiah was evident\nfrom the start. The rupiah opened 0.06% weaker at Rp16,970\/US$, then the\nweakening continued to increase until the close.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the US dollar index (DXY) at 3:00 PM WIB was still\nmonitored in the green zone with a 0.10% strengthening to the level of\n100.252.<\/p>\n

The pressure on the rupiah in today\u2019s trading is inseparable from the\nstrengthening of the US dollar in the global market. The US dollar\nindex, which measures the strength of the greenback against six major\nworld currencies, has again broken through the 100 level, indicating\nthat the US dollar is once again being sought after by investors. This\ncondition ultimately puts pressure on other currencies, including the\nrupiah.<\/p>\n

The strengthening of the US dollar occurred amid rising market\nconcerns over conflicts in the Gulf region that could last longer. This\nsituation has driven up oil prices and raised new concerns about\ninflation and the risk of a global economic slowdown.<\/p>\n

Domestically, Bank Indonesia (BI) continues to strive to maintain\nrupiah stability. One of them is through the implementation of foreign\nexchange repo instruments with collateral of Bank Indonesia Foreign\nCurrency Securities (SVBI) and Bank Indonesia Foreign Currency Sukuk\n(SUVBI), which took effect today, Monday (30\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n

Head of the Monetary Management and Securities Assets Department of\nBI, Erwin Gunawan Hutapea, said this policy is part of strengthening\nmarket-oriented monetary operation strategies.<\/p>\n

According to him, this new instrument is expected to provide\nadditional alternatives for banks in managing foreign exchange liquidity\nwhile supporting the deepening of the domestic financial market.<\/p>\n

\u201cThus, it also supports the deepening of the financial market and\nmaintains the stability of the rupiah exchange rate amid ongoing global\ndynamics,\u201d said Erwin.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/rupiah-closes-0-15-weaker-us-dollar-nears-rp17-000-1774861305", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
