Indonesia Central Bank's Rate Hike Marks Start of Tightening Cycle -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-21 13:09

0509 GMT - Bank Indonesia's surprise 50bp rate hike marks the start of a tightening cycle, UOB economists say in a note. The central bank is making strong efforts to anchor the rupiah's stability, while balancing measures that support growth. This shift is due to factors such as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the rupiah depreciation. With the currency weakening to 17,710 rupiah versus the U.S. dollar, BI is likely to continue adjusting both policy rates and Bank Indonesia Rupiah Securities yields to attract foreign inflows and strengthen currency stability. UOB expects Bank Indonesia to deliver a 25 bps hike each in June, in 3Q and in 4Q, bringing the terminal rate to 6.00%.(amanda.lee@wsj.com)
