Factors Influencing IHSG and Rupiah

The IHSG's upward movement was observed alongside the rupiah's decline, creating an interesting market dynamic. According to Reydi Octa, a capital market observer, "The strengthening IHSG amid rupiah weakening is reasonable as both instruments are driven by different factors. The rupiah exchange rate is highly sensitive to global interest rate trends, particularly from the US, USD strength, and foreign capital flows" ³
