Meanwhile, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the strength of\nthe greenback against six major world currencies, remained stable. As of\n09:00 WIB, the DXY stood at 99.201, after closing up 0.30% on Monday.\nThe rupiah\u2019s movement today continues to be influenced by both domestic\nand international sentiments.<\/p>\n

Domestically, Bank Indonesia (BI) continues to calibrate policy\ninstruments in the foreign exchange market to maintain the stability of\nthe rupiah exchange rate. Through Regulation of the Member of the Board\nof Governors Number 7 of 2026, BI officially reduced the limit for US\ndollar purchase transactions without underlying documents from\nUS$100,000 to US$50,000 per April 2026. This limit has been further\ntightened to US$25,000 per participant per month, effective from early\nJune 2026. This tightening of transaction recording in the spot market\nis accompanied by an expansion of relaxation in the derivative market.\nFor instruments such as forward sells and swaps, the transaction limit\nwithout underlying documentation has been increased to US$10 million per\ntransaction. Additionally, market participants are being encouraged to\nutilise Local Currency Transaction (LCT) schemes in bilateral trade; as\nof April 202<0xC2>6, LCT transaction volume reached US$22.61\nbillion.<\/p>\n

Externally, the movement of the US dollar requires close monitoring.\nThe US dollar strengthened in last night\u2019s trading after recording a\nslight weekly decline the previous week. This occurred as markets\nclosely watched the latest developments in Middle East peace\nnegotiations. Previously, the US dollar index had weakened due to\nexpectations that a deal between the US and Iran to reopen the Strait of\nHormuz was approaching. The closure of this major oil route had driven\noil prices up and worsened inflation prospects, leading to expectations\nthat the US Federal Reserve might raise interest rates this year.\nHowever, the US dollar rebounded following reports that Iranian\nnegotiation teams had halted message exchanges with the US via mediators\ndue to attacks in Lebanon. Subsequently, US President Donald Trump\nstated he had spoken with Hezbollah, the Lebanese militia affiliated\nwith Iran, through intermediaries and received a commitment that the\ngroup would not attack Israel, which subsequently trimmed some of the\ndollar\u2019s gains. The strengthening of the US dollar in global markets may\nultimately limit the appreciation potential of other currencies,\nincluding the rupiah.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/rupiah-opens-slightly-stronger-as-us-dollar-drops-to-rp17-850-1780882480", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
