The rupiah\u2019s\nfairly volatile movement today was influenced by a combination of\nexternal and domestic sentiments. Global Markets Economist at Maybank\nIndonesia, Myrdal Gunarto, stated that the pressure on the rupiah is\nstill closely related to the stance of global investors who tend to be\nrisk-averse towards emerging market assets like Indonesia amid the war\nin the Middle East and persistently high crude oil prices. This\ncondition has held back foreign capital flows to the domestic market,\neven accompanied by selling actions and profit-taking. At the same time,\ndomestically, pressure also comes from rising foreign exchange demand\nfor import needs, particularly fuel imports, early-month routine\nspending, dividend season, and the shift in foreign debt payments after\nthe Eid al-Fitr holiday. \u201cRegarding the rupiah exchange rate movement, I\nthink this is still closely related to developments from the global\ninvestor behaviour side, who are still engaging in risk-averse actions\nfor investments in emerging markets like Indonesia,\u201d Myrdal told CNBC\nIndonesia on Wednesday (1\/4\/2026). A similar view was expressed by BCA\nChief Economist Davidi Sumual. According to him, the pressure on the\nrupiah today is still largely triggered by external factors,\nparticularly the rise in global crude oil prices due to the ongoing war\nin the Middle East, which continues to trigger concerns in financial\nmarkets. However, he assesses that this pressure is also starting to\nspill over into domestic sentiment, particularly regarding its potential\nimpact on the state budget (APBN). \u201cSo it\u2019s still about negative\nexternal sentiments like rising oil prices and concerns about their\nimpact on the APBN. There is quite strong selling pressure from\nforeigners in the government bond market,\u201d Davidi told CNBC Indonesia on\nWednesday (1\/4\/2026). Despite the large negative sentiment, market\nplayers still see room for stabilisation, especially when external\npressures begin to ease slightly and the US dollar also corrects.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/rupiah-recovers-strength-us-dollar-closes-below-rp17-000-1775033555", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
