The USD/IDR pair remained stronger for a second consecutive day, trading around 17,980 during Asian hours on October 15, 2026. FXStreet reported that Bank Indonesia's interventions failed to halt the local currency's depreciation against the US Dollar.
The decline is driven by broad US Dollar strength and persistent capital outflows which are currently outweighing the central bank's efforts to stabilize the exchange rate. This price action reflects sustained downward pressure on the Rupiah as institutional attempts to support the currency have not yet reversed the trend.
