        "summary": "The Indonesian rupiah weakened by 0.46% to Rp17,090 per US dollar on Thursday, driven by market uncertainty over the implementation of a US-Iran ceasefire agreement, particularly regarding the reopening of key global energy routes like the Strait of Hormuz. Analysts note that persistent regional tensions, including Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon and US clarifications excluding hostilities there from the deal, are keeping oil prices high and fuelling global inflation fears, which bolster the dollar. Domestically, sluggish exports, forex reserve pressures, and fiscal concerns further limit the rupiah's recovery potential.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The rupiah exchange rate closed lower on\nThursday\u2019s trading by 78 points or 0.46 percent to Rp17,090 per US\ndollar from the previous close at Rp17,012 per US dollar. Tiffani\nSafinia from the Research &amp; Development of the Indonesia Commodity\nand Derivatives Exchange (ICDX) assessed that the rupiah\u2019s weakening was\ntriggered by the market\u2019s wait-and-see attitude regarding the certainty\nof the US-Iran ceasefire agreement. \u201cThe market is still awaiting\ncertainty on the implementation of that agreement, including the opening\nof strategic global energy routes,\u201d she told ANTARA in Jakarta on\nThursday. Citing Anadolu, the US had previously accepted a 10-point\nproposal as a workable basis for negotiations aimed at ending the war.\nCiting related statements and reports, the Islamic Republic of Iran\nBroadcasting (IRIB) stated that the proposal includes guarantees of no\naggression against Iran, continuation of Iran\u2019s control over the Strait\nof Hormuz, recognition of Tehran\u2019s right to uranium enrichment, and the\nlifting of all major and secondary US sanctions. Additionally, it\nincludes stopping UN Security Council resolutions and those of the\nInternational Atomic Energy Agency\u2019s Board of Governors against Iran,\npayment of compensation, withdrawal of US combat forces from the region,\nand cessation of hostilities on all fronts, including in Lebanon. Iran\u2019s\nSupreme National Security Council (SNSC) emphasised that the talks do\nnot mean the war has ended and stressed that any final agreement depends\non the fulfilment of Iran\u2019s conditions and detailed resolution. Safe\npassage through the Strait of Hormuz will also be guaranteed during the\nnegotiation period through coordination with Iran\u2019s armed forces.\nHowever, Zionist Israel violated the ceasefire agreement by launching\nmassive airstrikes in the Dahiyeh area south of Beirut, Lebanon. The\nIsraeli military had previously stated it attacked more than 100\nlocations in 10 minutes in Beirut, the Beqaa Valley, and southern\nLebanon, with a total of 254 fatalities. Moreover, as reported by\nSputnik, US Vice President JD Vance said on Wednesday (8\/4) that the\ncessation of hostilities in Lebanon is not part of the US-Iran ceasefire\nagreement and described the issue as a \u201cmisunderstanding\u201d. US President\nDonald Trump had previously stated that stopping the conflict in Lebanon\nis not included in the agreement due to Hezbollah\u2019s involvement. Trump\nviewed the situation in that country as part of a \u201cseparate clash.\u201d\n\u201cAlthough there is positive progress in the form of a two-week ceasefire\nagreement between the US and Iran, the market views its impact as still\ntemporary and not yet able to provide strong risk-on sentiment,\u201d Tiffani\nexplained. She emphasised that the main pressure comes from uncertainty\nin the West Asian region, particularly regarding the Strait of Hormuz,\nwhich has not fully returned to normal. This condition is seen as\nkeeping oil prices high and increasing global inflation concerns,\nthereby strengthening the US dollar and pressuring the rupiah.\n\u201cMeanwhile, from the domestic side, sentiment towards the rupiah remains\nsomewhat limited. Several factors such as slowing export performance,\npressure on foreign exchange reserves due to interventions, and concerns\nover fiscal and budget deficits are also holding back the rupiah\u2019s\nstrengthening,\u201d she said. The Bank Indonesia Jakarta Interbank Spot\nDollar Rate (JISDOR) today also moved lower to Rp17,082 per US dollar\nfrom the previous Rp17,009 per US dollar.<\/p>",
