Version 1.0 (2024-04-18 02:19:54.310000)

updates: The Indonesian rupiah has plunged to a four-year low against the dollar, complicating monetary policy for Bank Indonesia. The currency's decline may force the central bank to raise rates as early as next week. Bank Indonesia has been using various intervention tools to stabilize the rupiah, but a rate hike may be necessary to support the currency. The rupiah's high yields have historically attracted investors, but its appeal has waned due to currency volatility and narrow spreads. Foreigners now hold just 14% of Indonesian government securities, compared to 25% in December 2020. Bank Indonesia has spent $6 billion in the first quarter to support the rupiah. However, the central bank may be running out of options as expectations for Fed rate cuts recede. Some investors are betting on eventual Fed rate cuts later this year to provide relief for the rupiah. Bank of America's economist has pushed out expectations for Bank Indonesia's first rate cut to December from June. The central bank may surprise the market with a rate hike to address inflation risks from imported inflation and energy.

Version 0.87 (2024-03-12 03:18:09.436000)

updates: The Indian Rupee (INR) trades on a weaker note on Tuesday, despite the decline of the USD. The softer Greenback and a decline in crude oil prices might boost the Indian Rupee in the near term. INR reached an over six-month intraday high of 82.65 on Monday, but the rally was limited by a possible intervention from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to prevent a significant appreciation in the INR. India's headline retail inflation is expected to drop to 5.02% in February from 5.10% in January, extending it within the RBI's tolerance range of 2-6% for the sixth consecutive month. However, economists expect the Indian central bank to maintain current monetary policy at its April meeting since the domestic economy remains strong and inflation continues to stay above its 4% target. Investors will monitor India’s and US Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data for February, due on Tuesday. Later, India’s Wholesale Price Index (WPI) of Food, Fuel, and Inflation will be released on Wednesday, and the US Retail Sales will be published on Thursday.
