Dhwani Mehta FXStreet

Nanang Hendarsah, Head of Bank Indonesia’s (BI) monetary management department said in a text message on Monday, Indonesia's central bank intervened in the bond market on Monday to support the Rupiah currency.

Hendarsah said: "Bank Indonesia is intervening in the bond market, it is still ongoing, to maintain the stability of the rupiah."

Following the Saudi oil plants attack news-led risk aversion, the Indonesian Rupiah witnessed a sharp fall against its American peer, with USD/IDR rallying 0.60% to near 14,050 levels.

Rupiah hit fresh two-month tops vs. the US dollar on Friday at 13,905 amid dovish Fed expectations and US-China trade optimism.

GBP/USD bounces to 1.3550 on USD retreat

Gold holds recovery near $4,450; still cautious

Gold holds its recovery near $4,450 in the European session on Monday, moving away from sub-$4,400 levels, though the upside potential seems limited. A softer US Dollar offers some support to the precious metal and helps recover its intraday losses. Meanwhile, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's comments on curbing inflationary pressures on Friday lifted bets for a rate hike, which might keep a lid on any meaningful recovery for the non-yielding bullion.

Dogecoin whales take profits as rally loses momentum
