In interbank transaction, rupiah traded at the level of 12,176 per dollar weakening from 12,158 earlier.
Chief researcher of Monex Investindo Futures, Ariston Tjendra, said the US dollar regained value on expectation that the Fed would further trim its financial stimulus.
"The expectation would boost dollar against the majority of the global currencies," Ariston said.
He said the sentiment would prompt investors to hold currencies considered safer. (*)
