# Rupiah Today Weakens to Rp18,089 per US Dollar, Affected by Oil Supply Disruptions

> The Indonesian rupiah weakened 0.04% to Rp18,089 per US dollar at Friday's close. A currency analyst attributed the decline to concern that tanker attacks and other incidents in the Middle East could disrupt oil supplies; the report also cited threats near Saudi Arabia's Yanbu export hub and attacks on Russian refineries.
