USDIDR+ also hit a new record high (Indonesian Rupiah hit a new record low against the US dollar, flirting with the 17,200 level at the onset of this week.



USDIDR+: by the numbers

• +0.8% so far in April (month-to-date, mtd)

• +2.6% so far in 2026 (year-to-date, ytd)

According to Bloomberg's FX model ...

The Indonesian Rupiah could weaken past the 18,000 mark against the US dollar (USDIR+ breaches 18k) by Q3 2026.

(Bloomberg FX model: 79% chance USDIDR+ trades between 16,363 - 18146 by Sept 30th, 2026)

Such weakness may depend on the risks stemming from the Iran war, and how it impacts the oil-dependent Indonesian economy.
