Rupiah closes stronger at Rp18,070 per US dollar

Indonesia’s rupiah ended trading on 9 November 2026 at Rp18,070 per US dollar, gaining 0.06 per cent from its 6 November close of Rp18,080, according to Refinitiv data. The currency finished at its strongest level of the session.

The rupiah opened at Rp18,075 per US dollar and traded between Rp18,070 and Rp18,110. Meanwhile, the US dollar index, which tracks the currency against six major currencies, fell 0.28 per cent to 102.007. It remained above 102 after rising about 0.74 per cent on 6 November, its biggest daily gain in almost six months.

Bank Indonesia’s consumer survey, published on 9 November, showed confidence improving in October. The consumer confidence index reached 119.9, compared with 118.1 in September. Assessments of current economic conditions and expectations for the next six months both improved.

However, households allocated a smaller share of their income to consumption despite the improvement in confidence. The survey put that share at 73.6 per cent, down from 74.9 per cent, while the savings share increased to 16.4 per cent from 15.4 per cent.

Separately, the Finance Ministry has set an indicative fundraising target of Rp30 trillion for a government bond auction scheduled for 10 November, with maximum proceeds of Rp45 trillion. Nine rupiah-denominated bond series will be offered to help finance the 2026 state budget.
