Key Quotes

“We highlighted last week that ‘there is room for USD/IDR to test 14,490 first before easing’. However, instead of ‘testing’ 14,490, USD/IDR blew past the level and surged to a high of 14,565 on Friday (02 Jul).”

“Overbought conditions coupled with the weak opening today suggest that USD/IDR is unlikely to strengthen further. For this week, USD/IDR is more likely to consolidate and trade between 14,395 and 14,550.”
