Amid the strengthening of IDR, Indonesian forex experts thanked the positive signal from the trade negotiation between the U.S and China.

Assuring the forex players, the experts hinted that the weakening will be temporary since the positive sentiments in the trade war between the U.S and China might bring back fresh energy for the IDR.

While the negotiation is still up in the air, the positive signal from the trade war lifted IDR up to lower than Rp14,000/USD.

Let's hope the Phase One negotiation will be wrapped up soon.

Approaching Rp14,000/USD, Indonesian forex experts saw that IDR is still relying on the trade war negotiation between the U.S and China.

However, IDR will find it difficult to thrive because the negotiation is still up in the air.

When the currency depends on how good or bad the trade war proceeds, every statement counts. Beware!

The signing of the Hong Kong Rights bill by the President of the U.S, Donald Trump, was the cause all along.

Indonesian forex experts explained that the weakening of IDR is caused by the negative signal shown amid the trade war negotiation between the U.S and China.

While trade war negotiation brings IDR up, the U.S intervention to Hong Kong - China dispute might bring it down again.

For forex experts, Trump’s statement reflected the length and smoothness of the trade negotiation between the U.S and China, and they showed bad signs.

Besides the trade war, Brexit and benchmark interest rate cut by the Feds also contributed to the strengthening.
