The rupiah slid to a new record low of Rp 18,000 per United States dollar on Thursday, extending its losses this year to more than 7 percent and making it Asia’s worst-performing currency as rising oil prices and deteriorating trade dynamics rattled investors.

Analysts said the rupiah may weaken further as Iran halts talks with the U.S. and threatens to close the Strait of Hormuz.
