周四,印尼盾兑美元汇率跌至16650印尼盾兑1美元,连续第二个交易日下跌,此前央行表示,在2026年之前通胀预期较低的情况下,有更大的降息空间。印尼央行周三出人意料地将基准利率稳定在4.75%,此前已连续三次下调,行长Perry Warjiyo表示,正在努力加强货币政策传导。自2024年9月以来,政策制定者已六次降息,总计150个基点。与此同时,今年印尼盾兑美元汇率下跌了约3%,是亚洲新兴市场中最疲软的货币之一。与此同时,普拉博沃·苏比安托总统的目标是在任期内将经济增长率提高到8%,而疫情后几年的增长率约为5%,并计划在2026年实现5.4%的增长。在其他地方,美元指数在今天晚些时候公布的9月份关键通胀报告之前小幅上涨,因为投资者评估了美国政府持续关闭的影响。
The Indonesian rupiah weakened toward 16,650 per dollar on Thursday, falling for the second consecutive session after the central bank signaled more room for rate cuts amid expectations of low inflation through 2026. Bank Indonesia on Wednesday unexpectedly held steady its benchmark rate at 4.75%, following three straight reductions, with Governor Perry Warjiyo saying efforts are underway to strengthen monetary policy transmission. Since September 2024, policymakers have slashed rates six times, totaling 150 basis points. Meanwhile, the rupiah has fallen about 3% against the dollar this year, among the weakest in emerging Asia. At the same time, President Prabowo Subianto aims to lift economic growth to 8% during his term, compared with around 5% in the post-pandemic years, and targets 5.4% growth in 2026. Elsewhere, the dollar index inched higher ahead of September's key inflation report due later today, as investors assessed the impact of the ongoing U.S. government shutdown.
