JAKARTA - The rupiah exchange rate on the spot market closed lower today on Thursday, June 25th. The rupiah weakened 0.32 percent or 45 points to a level of Rp14,175 per US dollar (US).
Head of Research at Monex Investindo Futures, Ariston Tjendra, said that the weakening of the rupiah was influenced by the tug of war between hopes of economic recovery and fears of additional COVID-19 cases.
"Today the concern is getting higher with a number of countries reporting new cases even though they have succeeded in controlling cases and reopening their economies. This is putting pressure on the rupiah," Ariston told VOI.
