In the short term USD is driven mainly by Fed policy, US growth and global risk appetite, while IDR responds to commodity prices and capital flows.
The US Dollar (USD) is issued by Federal Reserve (Fed). Most of the world’s central-bank reserves are held in US dollars. The Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) is issued by Bank Indonesia. The rupiah has some of the world’s highest denominations — notes go up to 100,000.
