The rupiah\u2019s decline was driven by negative domestic data.\nThe Central Statistics Agency (BPS) announced that Indonesia\u2019s trade\nbalance recorded a deficit of US$1.61 billion in May 2026, with exports\nat US$23.20 billion and imports at US$24.81 billion. This marks the\nfirst trade deficit in six years, breaking a 72-month surplus streak\nsince April 2020. The deficit was the deepest since April 2019, when it\nreached US$2.33 billion. BPS Deputy for Distribution and Services\nStatistics Ateng Hartono explained that the deficit was primarily caused\nby oil and gas commodities, which recorded a shortfall of US$3.76\nbillion, mainly from oil products and crude oil. Additionally, BPS\nreported that Indonesia\u2019s monthly inflation reached 0.44% in June 2026,\nwith an annual rate of 3.34%, higher than the 0.28% recorded in May. The\ntransportation sector experienced the highest inflation at 2.29%,\ncontributing 0.28% to the overall figure. The inflation rate exceeded\nmarket expectations, which had forecast a monthly increase of 0.30% and\nan annual rate of 3.2%. Externally, the US dollar remained firm as\nmarket expectations grew for a potential Federal Reserve interest rate\nhike, supported by solid US job openings data. The US Bureau of Labor\nStatistics reported that job openings rose by 9,000 to 7.594 million in\nMay, surpassing market expectations of 7.296 million. Following the\nFed\u2019s decision to hold rates at 3.50%-3.75% in June, market participants\nnow see a 33.70% chance of a 25-basis-point rate hike at the July\nmeeting.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/rupiah-ends-in-the-red-us-dollar-climbs-to-rp17-930-1782895916", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
