        "summary": "The Indonesian rupiah is anticipated to weaken further on Tuesday, trading in a volatile range of Rp 17,100 to Rp 17,150, amid escalating US-Iran tensions that have disrupted peace talks and heightened geopolitical risks. Sticky US inflation, exacerbated by rising energy prices from the conflict, has diminished expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, dampening global risk appetite and pressuring emerging market currencies like the rupiah. Analysts suggest potential stabilisation if diplomatic dialogue resumes, but warn of further depreciation if oil prices surge or rhetoric intensifies.",

Rupiah is expected to remain under pressure on Tuesday, with\nanalysts projecting further weakness in the currency as geopolitical\ntensions and sticky US inflation dampen risk appetite.<\/p>\n<p>Rupiah closed marginally weaker by 1 point at Rp 17,105 per dollar on\nMonday, after briefly sliding as much as 40 points from its previous\nclose of Rp 17,104.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn Tuesday, the rupiah is likely to move in a volatile range but end\nweaker around Rp 17,100 to Rp 17,150,\u201d said Ibrahim Assuaibi, Director\nof Traze Andalan Futures, in Jakarta on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Ibrahim noted the rupiah has come under renewed pressure following\nthe breakdown of US-Iran peace talks over the weekend, which has\nintensified geopolitical risks in global markets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdditionally, the consumer price index data released on Friday\nshowed a sharp increase in inflation driven by rising energy prices due\nto the Iran conflict. This has further strengthened expectations that\nthe Fed will not cut interest rates in the coming months,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, Bank Permata Chief Economist Josua Pardede projected the\nrupiah would continue weakening this week, hovering in the range of Rp\n17,000 to Rp 17,175.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the shift in sentiment after the failed US-Iran negotiations,\nthe most realistic range for the rupiah is Rp 17,100 to Rp 17,175, with\na potential brief test toward Rp 17,200 if follow-up news worsens, oil\nprices surge again, or political rhetoric escalates,\u201d Josua said.<\/p>\n<p>However, he added that the rupiah could stabilize around Rp 17,000 to\nRp 17,100 if markets begin to see room for renewed dialogue between the\nUS and Iran, and if the blockade situation does not escalate into a full\ndisruption.<\/p>\n<p>Tags: Keywords:<\/p>",
