JAKARTA. The rupiah exchange rate traded on Thursday morning weakened by 13 points to Rp 14,145 per US dollar from Rp 14,132. “The US dollar has appreciated against the rupiah again following the release of the ADP's [Automatic Data Processing] US employment data, which has improved the possibility of an increase in the Fed's [US Federal Reserve] fund rate in September,” PT Platon Niaga Berjangka analyst Lukman Leong said as quoted by Antara in Jakarta on Thursday. He said investors were waiting for the US non-farm payrolls (NFP) data, which was scheduled to be released on Friday, to see the latest employment market condition in the country.
