Bank Indonesia likely to deliver a hawkish hold
Repeats from Tuesday with no changes
July 16 (Reuters) -Bank Indonesia (BI) is likely to leave its key interest rate at 6.25% on Wednesday to keep the rupiah steady. Political uncertainty ahead of the U.S. presidential election and no clear timing fora Federal Reserve rate cutwill deter Indonesia'scentral bank from easing soon.
BI unexpectedly hiked its seven-day repurchase rate by 25 basis pointsin April to shore up the IDR. The bank had also been actively intervening in the forex and bond marketsto curb IDR weakness.USD/IDR has come off its highs just below16500 but thedownside remains limited as the Fed is seen keeping rates higher for longer.
USD/IDR has heldbelow the 16500 resistance since June 21,but the rupiah remains pressured by a broadly strong dollar.As the IDR has weakened by about 5% versus the USD since the beginning of 2024, BI may even hike rates once again should the IDR weaken further.
The focusremains on U.S. economic data in the next couple of months. Resilient U.S. indicators will further impact BI's rate outlook.
At the last meeting on June 20, BI's tone was cautious nL4N3IH0PT, even somewhat hawkish as USD/IDR was hovering just below the 16500 level. Another "hawkish hold" looks likely as the central bank continuesits smoothing operations to keep the IDR stable. BI will have some breathing room to lower its policy rateonce the Fed begins easing.
