IDR

Spot USD/IDR has added 23 figures so far and last trades at IDR14,310, with the rupiah underperforming its regional peers. Bulls set their sights on the 200-DMA/May 20 high at IDR14,388/14,400. On the downside, a slide through the 100-DMA at IDR14,261 would bring May 10 low of IDR14,145 into view.

  • USD/IDR 1-month NDF last at IDR14,344, little changed on the day. A break above the 200-DMA at IDR14,427 would open up May 20 high of IDR14,475. Downside focus falls on May 26 low of IDR14,301 and a break here would expose May 7 low of IDR14,133.
  • Bank Indonesia said Thursday that money supply grew 11.5% Y/Y in April on the back of seasonal impact of Ramadan and Eid holidays.
