The Indonesian rupiah closed down about 4 points, roughly 0.02%, at 18,160 per US dollar on November 3, 2026. Reports that the US struck Iran's Qeshm Island, described as a defensive move to prevent Iranian attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, weighed on sentiment, while US-Iran talks via Qatar continued without a breakthrough.
Renewed Hormuz tensions keep oil prices volatile, and a weaker rupiah raises the local cost of imported feed ingredients and fuel for Indonesian buyers.
