Key Quotes

“We highlighted last Monday that ‘the sharp and rapid drop in USD/IDR has room to extend’. We added, ‘in view of the deeply oversold conditions, a sustained drop below the major support at 14,095 is unlikely’. USD/IDR dropped to a low of 14,945 before rebounding to end the week at 14,990 (-1.06%).”

“While conditions remain oversold, the weakness in USD/IDR has not stabilized. This week, barring a break above 15,230, USD/IDR could drop to 14,925 before stabilization is likely.”
