October 15th - EU leaders arrived at the venue on the morning of October 15th local time for the two-day EU summit in Brussels. The meeting was chaired by European Council President Costa, and attended by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Parliament President Michel Metzela, and leaders of the 27 EU member states. The leaders will discuss topics including EU competitiveness, energy prices, the EUs long-term budget for 2028-2034, support for Ukraine, security and defense, immigration, EU enlargement, and the situation in the Middle East.On October 15th, Barclays economists stated that comments by Bank of Japan (BOJ) policy board member Junko Koeda further reinforced the BOJs assessment that it needs to continue raising interest rates. In her remarks on Thursday, Koeda indicated that Japans neutral interest rate is likely "well above 1%," and that the neutral interest rate, estimated by adding a 2% inflation rate to the potential economic growth rate, may exceed 2%. Barclays economists stated, "We believe her mention of a neutral interest rate potentially exceeding 2% is significant when assessing the BOJs room for further rate hikes." Barclays expects the BOJ to raise interest rates by another 25 basis points in December 2026, followed by further increases in March and July 2027, ultimately raising the policy rate to the terminal level of 2%.STMicroelectronics, listed in Milan, resumed trading after a suspension, with its share price falling 7%.Ukraines state-owned oil company: Russia attacked a gas extraction facility in the Poltava region last night.Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee member Green: The risk of a second-order effect is “quite significant.”

Rupiah Rebounds Again Above $14,500 Amid Disappointing Indonesia Retail Sales

USD/IDR pares weekly gains at $14,570 despite Indonesia Retail Sales falling in April, according to Friday's data. The current weakening in the Indonesia Rupiah (IDR) pair may be attributable to the broad dollar retreat ahead of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for May.

 

According to the most recent report from Bank Indonesia, the nation's Retail Sales slowed to 8.5% in April, down from 9.3% in the previous report.

 

In spite of this, the US Dollar Index (DXY) pares its largest daily advances in a week due to apprehension around the release of vital inflation data.

 

Notably, however, fresh covid worries in China owing to the restoration of activity limitations in Shanghai and Beijing threaten Asian market mood. "Only ten days after a citywide lockdown was lifted, Shanghai's citizens will be subjected to an unexpected round of COVID-19 testing this weekend, unnerving locals and increasing fears about the impact on business," said Reuters.

 

On a larger scale, growing worries of faster/heavier rate rises and their negative economic ramifications appear to be weighing on the performance of the market as of late. Among the additional reasons that challenge the USD/IDR bears are the escalating fears about inflation and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

 

Moving forward, it will be crucial to monitor the US CPI, which is anticipated to remain unchanged at roughly 8.5% YoY, since the White House has previously predicted a higher number, which might remember USD/IDR bulls.

 

Technical Evaluation

 

Despite the most recent dip, USD/IDR maintains the early week's comeback from the 100-day simple moving average (about $14,420 at press time), which keeps purchasers optimistic.
