The Jisdor reference rate for the rupiah weakened 0.04% to Rp 15,803 per dollar on January 31, 2024. Analysts attributed the move to dollar strength and weak China manufacturing data.
They said the rupiah would depend on the Fed's decision and Indonesia's upcoming PMI and inflation releases.
Dollar strength and weak Chinese manufacturing point to softer demand conditions and a firmer dollar, which can pressure commodity prices quoted in dollars.
