Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo said the US dollar index has stayed strong despite the Fed funds rate nearing its peak and ongoing US debt ceiling talks, calling this an anomaly.

He also said the debt ceiling negotiations add to global uncertainty.
A firm dollar and higher-for-longer US rates tend to pressure emerging-market currencies and raise dollar-priced import costs for feed buyers in those markets.
