The Indonesian rupiah weakened for a second straight session on Tuesday, with USD/IDR trading around 17,900 during Asian hours. The move comes amid growing concerns over a potential MSCI index downgrade for Indonesia, which would reduce foreign capital inflows.
Severe economic headwinds are building for Southeast Asia's largest economy, though specific details remain undisclosed. Traders are watching for further developments on the MSCI reclassification, which could exacerbate pressure on the rupiah if confirmed.
