JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The USD/IDR is higher at 8,970, from 8,950 late Wednesday as sentiment turns risk-averse again on concerns Greece is nearing default, dealers say.
Three dealers suspect Bank Indonesia to have sold around $20 million at 8,970 to slow the pair's rise. “Bank Indonesia will likely continue selling dollars today to prevent the pair from rising above IDR9,000,“ a dealer says.
He tips a 8,950-9,000 range for the day.
