> The rupiah slipped past 17,380 per dollar on Thursday, extending losses over three sessions to near a record low. The currency is on track for its third straight monthly decline, about 2.2% in April. Pressure came from a stronger US dollar after a hawkish Fed hold and higher oil prices tied to Middle East tensions.

## Why it matters

Persistent rupiah weakness makes dollar-priced imports such as soymeal and corn more expensive in local terms for Indonesian feed mills. Fiscal strain and reserve concerns could keep the currency under pressure.
