The rupiah strengthened 45 points, or 0.25%, to Rp18,115 per US dollar in early trading on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, from the previous close of Rp18,160. The move followed a weaker US dollar index and lower crude oil prices on hopes for Middle East peace.
Analysts expect the gains to be limited by weak domestic equity markets.
Lower oil prices and a softer dollar ease the cost of imported feed inputs and freight for Indonesian buyers. The effect on feed commodity prices is small because the move is a routine daily currency fluctuation.
