Key Quotes

Last week, we held the view that USD/IDR “is likely to strengthen further, but March’s peak near 15,475 is likely out of reach”. However,  USD/IDR traded in a range of 15,235/15,338 before ending the week largely unchanged at 15,290 (+0.07%). USD/IDR appears to have moved into a consolidation phase; this week, it is likely to trade sideways between 15,240 and 15,340.
