        "summary": "The Indonesian rupiah opened trading on Thursday with a 0.21% strengthening against the US dollar, reaching Rp16,870 per dollar, continuing its positive momentum from the previous day's 0.41% gain to Rp16,905. This movement is influenced by global factors, particularly the dynamics of the US dollar amid uncertainties surrounding the US-Israel-Iran conflict and its potential impact on energy prices and US monetary policy. Analysts note that heightened market sensitivity to geopolitical developments is limiting the rupiah's upside potential as investors flock to safe-haven assets like the dollar.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The rupiah exchange rate began Thursday\nmorning\u2019s trading with a strengthening against the United States (US)\ndollar.<\/p>\n<p>Based on Refinitiv data, in Thursday\u2019s trading (26\/3\/2026), the\nrupiah opened at the level of Rp16,870\/US<span class=\"math inline\">,\u2006<em>o<\/em><em>r<\/em><em>s<\/em><em>t<\/em><em>r<\/em><em>e<\/em><em>n<\/em><em>g<\/em><em>t<\/em><em>h<\/em><em>e<\/em><em>n<\/em><em>i<\/em><em>n<\/em><em>g<\/em><em>b<\/em><em>y<\/em>0.21<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the US dollar index (DXY) at 09:00 WIB was observed to\nstrengthen slightly by 0.03% to the level of 99.628. This increase\ncontinues the strengthening in the previous trading, when the DXY rose\n0.17% to the position of 99.599.<\/p>\n<p>The rupiah\u2019s movement in today\u2019s trading is estimated to still be\nheavily influenced by external factors, particularly the dynamics of the\nUS dollar in the global market.<\/p>\n<p>The US dollar is still holding strong in early Asian trading, as\nmarket participants await clarity on whether the tensions in the\nUS-Israel conflict with Iran are truly beginning to ease or still have\nthe potential to heat up. This uncertainty is causing investors to once\nagain tend towards safe-haven assets, including the US dollar.<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister on Wednesday stated that his country is still\nreviewing a proposal from the US to end the war in the Gulf region.\nHowever, Iran emphasised that it has no intention of holding\nnegotiations to stop the conflict that continues to widen in the Middle\nEast. This statement has kept market participants cautious.<\/p>\n<p>Westpac analysts assess that the market is currently still very\nsensitive to every news development. Investors are still trying to\nassess whether the latest various signals truly point towards\nde-escalation of the conflict, or are just a temporary phase before\ntensions rise again.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which once\ntriggered a surge in energy prices, has also prompted the market to\nre-examine inflation expectations and the direction of US monetary\npolicy. Market participants now increasingly believe that the US central\nbank, the Federal Reserve, will maintain high interest rates for\nlonger.<\/p>\n<p>The strengthening of the US dollar index ultimately narrows the room\nfor strengthening of other countries\u2019 currencies, including the\nrupiah.<\/p>",
