The Indonesian rupiah depreciated against the United States dollar during Friday's trading session, closing 20 points or 0.11 percent lower. The decline in the currency's value occurred in response to the release of positive initial jobless claims data from the United States.
The strengthening of the U.S. labor market data served as the primary catalyst for the rupiah's movement. This economic indicator influenced investor sentiment, leading to the observed adjustment in the exchange rate by the close of the trading day.
