        "content": "<p>Jakarta, Kompas.com - External and domestic pressures continue to\nweigh on the rupiah\u2019s exchange rate today, Thursday (28 May 2026), with\nthe currency potentially breaching Rp 17,900 per US dollar. Morning\ntrading saw the rupiah weaken by approximately 70 points to around Rp\n17,870 per US dollar.<\/p>\n<p>Currency and commodity analyst Ibrahim Assuaibi said the pressure on\nthe rupiah remains substantial, with depreciation expected to persist\nuntil the close of trading. He cited heightened geopolitical tensions in\nthe Middle East and Europe, particularly between the US and Israel,\nwhich have raised concerns over regional stability and global energy\nsupply. Additionally, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has further increased\nuncertainty in global financial markets.<\/p>\n<p>These conditions have prompted global investors to seek safe-haven\nassets such as the US dollar. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil\nprices have risen to around $96 per barrel, potentially fueling global\ninflation, including in the US. This has raised expectations that the\nFederal Reserve will keep interest rates elevated for longer.<\/p>\n<p>The strengthening US dollar, driven by these rate expectations, has\nadded further pressure on emerging market currencies, including the\nrupiah. Domestically, Assuaibi highlighted high demand for US dollars to\ncover oil imports, corporate dividend payments, and maturing foreign\ndebt obligations. He also noted capital outflows into foreign currency\ninstruments as investors seek safer havens amid market uncertainty.<\/p>",
