Indonesia’s annual inflation rate accelerated further in June, according to the latest data published by Statistics Indonesia on Monday.

Meanwhile, the monthly inflation reading for June came in at 0.55% vs. 0.54% expected and 0.68% last.
The USD/IDR cross keeps its recovery mode intact from two-month lows of 14,082 to now trade near 14,110. The Indonesian Rupiah remains uninspired by upbeat Indonesian CPI figures for the month of June.
