# USD/IDR: Risks tilted towards the downside for the Rupiah in Q4 – MUFG — Octa

> MUFG Bank expects the rupiah to weaken modestly against the dollar until early 2020, forecasting USD/IDR at 14,250 by Q4 2019 and 14,000 by Q3 2020. The rupiah gained in early September on US-China trade concessions but gave back most of those gains later in the month. Analysts cited pressure from Brexit, ECB easing and a slowing global economy.

## Why it matters

A weaker rupiah raises the cost of dollar-priced feed imports in Indonesia. The forecast points to a steady rather than sharp move in local feed costs.
