IDR

Spot USD/IDR has added 31 figs so far and last changes hands at IDR14,220. Topside focus falls on the 100-DMA at IDR14,285 and a break here would give bulls a green light for targeting Jun 4 high of IDR14,322. Conversely, a slip past Jun 11 low of IDR14,185 would bring May 10 cycle low of IDR14,145 into view.

  • USD/IDR 1-month NDF last +15 figs at IDR14,257, with bulls looking for a jump above May 28 high of IDR14,381, followed by May 20 high of IDR14,475. On the flip side, a retreat under Jun 11 low of IDR14,198 would open up May 7 low of IDR14,133.
  • Indonesia has extended luxury tax relief on vehicles with smaller engines, as it seeks to support demand amid the outbreak of Covid-19. Meanwhile, the gov't is proposing a hike to personal income tax on people earning more than IDR5bn a year.
