# Rupiah melemah dipicu peningkatan permintaan "safe haven" - ANTARA News

> The rupiah closed down 83 points, or 0.48%, at 17,326 per dollar on April 29, after 17,243 the previous session. Analysts attributed the decline to safe-haven demand amid Middle East geopolitical tension, a firm dollar index near 98.6, and expectations of prolonged high US rates. Uncertainty over a successor to Fed Chair Jerome Powell was also cited.

## Why it matters

Safe-haven flows and expectations of high US rates keep emerging-market currencies under pressure, which raises the cost of dollar-denominated feed imports for Indonesian buyers. The effect on global grain or oilseed prices is limited.
