# Rupiah breaches 18,000/$ for first time since August on rising yields, oil | MarketScreener

> Indonesia's rupiah breached 18,000 per US dollar on September 29 for the first time since early August, hitting 18,010. The move followed a surge in the 10-year US Treasury yield to a 19-year high above 5.27% and higher oil prices amid US-Iran tensions. Jakarta equities fell as much as 2.2%.

## Why it matters

A weaker rupiah raises the local-currency cost of imported feed ingredients and energy for Indonesian buyers, while firmer US yields and the dollar add pressure on dollar-priced commodities. The effect on global grain and meal prices is limited.
