IDR is Gaining this Week


As what I have predicted last week, the IDR support at 12000 level would be an ideal point for a reversal. IDR closed this week at 11.870 per dollar. The weakening of USD globally is triggered by the Fed plan to spend 1 trillion USD to buy corporate and government debt so that it would be able to reduce borrowing rate. In Indonesia, the JSX also gained this week as I already predicted due to the increasing demand from the foreign investors. The yield on Indonesia's 10 year bonds is arround 12% which is about 10% higher than USA bonds, hence investors are exchanging their USD to get a higher yield in IDR. With the risk appetite improving, I would expect the IDR to keep its strength relatively to USD for the coming week. Any other opinion ?

Is it the sign of reversal EUR / USD ?

I would show you the EUR/USD daily chart. I believe that in a short period of time, the EURO would be appreciate against the US Dollar. The momentum shows that the force for the USD to strengthening has been diminished. There is a strong support around 1.2476. We need to look at the volume in the coming days. If the volume does increase, we would expect the EUR to go to around 1.4300.
