Rupiah Firms After Fed Decision, Focus Turns To Bank Indonesia

IDR

Spot USD/IDR has traded on a heavier note in the wake of the Fed's monetary policy decision. The rate sits -12 figs at IDR14,321, with bears looking to a slide through Nov 30 low/100-DMA at IDR14,293/14,288. Conversely, a breach of Dec 10 high of IDR14,383 would bring Dec 6 high of IDR14,447.

  • USD/IDR 1-month NDF last -7 figs at IDR14,348. Bears see the 100-DMA at IDR14,330 as their initial target, while bulls look to a jump above Dec 10 high of IDR14,445.
  • Bank Indonesia will deliver their final monetary policy decision of 2021 later today (see our preview for more details). The statement is unlikely to provide any major surprises, with the 7-Day Reverse Repo Rate expected to remain unchanged.
  • Health Min Sadikin announced that the gov't is planning to roll out a Covid-19 booster programme for the general public as soon as in January, with priority given to the elderly and immunocompromised people.
