Monex Investindo Futures head of research Ariston Tjendra said the rupiah further depreciated as global investors preferred to keep their assets in dollars amid the global economic slowdown. “Market players are anticipating the outcome of the [US] Federal Reserve meeting. This has encouraged investors to buy shares in a safe-haven currency like the US dollar,” Ariston said on Wednesday as quoted by Antara news agency.
