Indonesian rupiah climbs, other Asian FX muted amid holiday lull
06:19am, Friday, 24'th Dec 2021 Business Recorder
The Indonesian rupiah hit its highest in nearly two months on Friday and was eyeing its best weekly gain since early May, boosted by improving market sentiment on hopes the Omicron coronavirus variant won''t damage the economy too much. Most other Asian emerging currencies clung to narrow ranges against the dollar, while equities were largely mixed in thin trading on Christmas Eve. Global markets, including major indexes on Wall Street, notched modest gains, with the S&P 500 closing at a record high overnight on signs that Omicron is less likely to lead to hospitalization. Vaccine makers AstraZeneca Plc and Novavax Inc said their shots protected against Omicron, and data indicated both Merck''s and Pfizer''s COVID-19 anti-viral pills are effective against the variant, providing another glimmer of hope to the markets. That put pressure on the dollar, which slipped marginally against a basket of currencies. The US dollar index was flat at 96.062, lingering near its one-week low. Analysts at Mizuho Bank termed it as a "Santa pause" which seemed to be more a consequence of heightened uncertainty amid conflicting economic risks and policy signals, than a "risk-on" holiday-cheer rally as more clarity is needed on the Omicron variant.
