TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The rupiah exchange rate until Tuesday afternoon, May 26, 2026, remained above the level of Rp17,700 per US dollar. Google's data showed that by 12:00 p.m. Jakarta time, the rupiah had weakened to Rp17,792 per US dollar, while Bloomberg's data stated that the spot exchange rate for the rupiah at the same time was Rp17,793 per US dollar, a 50-point decline.
The rupiah is growing increasingly powerless in the face of the strengthening US dollar. Director of PT Traze Andalan Futures, Ibrahim Assuabi, predicted that the Indonesian currency will continue to weaken tomorrow, as the Eid al-Adha celebration will result in an extended weekend break for the domestic market.
