Data from Bank Indonesia's Jakarta Interbank Spot Dollar Rate (JISDOR) showed that the US dollar closed at Rp17,753 against the rupiah on Wednesday, June 17, 2026.
The rupiah weakened 0.19% from its previous close of Rp17,719 on Monday, June 15, 2026. The Monday level had been the rupiah's strongest position since early June 2026.
According to Katadata, the rupiah came under pressure as market participants awaited monetary policy decisions from both the US Federal Reserve and Bank Indonesia.
Economic, currency, and commodity analyst Ibrahim Assuaibi said market sentiment was influenced by a stronger US dollar index, driven by optimism over the possibility of an agreement between the United States and Iran to end tensions in the Middle East.
The proposed agreement includes a 60-day extension of the ceasefire and could allow Iran to resume oil exports.
"US President Donald Trump said the agreement would set aside Tehran's nuclear weapons ambitions, and a US official said it would allow Iran to sell oil once signed," Ibrahim said.
However, uncertainty remains over the durability of the ceasefire. Several security incidents in the region, including a drone attack in southern Lebanon, suggest that geopolitical risks persist.
Domestically, investors are also focusing on Bank Indonesia's Board of Governors Meeting (RDG), scheduled for June 17–18, 2026. The meeting has drawn particular attention after Bank Indonesia unexpectedly raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 5.50% at a weekly policy meeting last week.
The central bank had previously increased the benchmark rate by 50 basis points at its monthly meeting. According to Ibrahim, the aggressive tightening reflects Bank Indonesia's strong commitment to maintaining rupiah stability after the currency faced significant pressure against the US dollar in recent months.
