# USD/IDR Price News: Rupiah bulls break $14,400 as Bank Indonesia Governor cites inflation risk — Octa

> On August 25, 2021, USD/IDR eased to about 14,391 after Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo warned of rising inflation risk in 2022 from stronger domestic demand and higher global commodity prices. The dollar index was supported by firmer Treasury yields ahead of US durable goods data.

## Why it matters

Warnings of higher inflation and commodity prices could support a stronger rupiah over time if the central bank tightens, but for now the currency is mostly driven by dollar strength. Feed buyers in Indonesia face little immediate change in import costs.
