An economist forecast that the rupiah could fluctuate around Rp 18,250 per US dollar and potentially weaken to Rp 18,500 during November. He cited a stronger US dollar index and heightened Middle East tensions, warning that a break above Rp 18,500 could expose the currency to further losses.
A weaker rupiah raises the local-currency cost of imported feed and agricultural inputs, including commodities priced in dollars. Geopolitical risk and a stronger dollar may therefore increase Indonesian buyers’ import costs.
