- Description
- Indonesia's central bank raised interest rates by 25 basis points on Tuesday (Jun 9) in an unexpected off-cycle rate hike, taking the benchmark rate to 5.50 per cent as it moves to stabilise the rupiah, which has hit a series of record lows. The rupiah has been under pressure due to a wide range of investor worries, including President Prabowo Subianto's big spending plans and a ballooning fuel subsidy budget following the Iran war, along with doubts about the central bank's autonomy and controversial new commodity export policies. But will higher interest rates be enough to bring investors back, amid a crisis of confidence seen across Indonesia's financial assets? CNA’s Olivia Marzuki explains.

- Description
- United States military forces on Tuesday (Jun 9) launched strikes against Iran in retaliation against the downing of one of its Apache helicopters, with US Central Command calling the mission “a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression”. The latest incident threatens to reignite hostilities a day after Iran and Israel halted attacks in the worst flare-up since a truce took effect in April. It also raises doubts about a deal to end the war, which US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed is near. Ryan Bohl, senior Middle East and North Africa analyst at geopolitical consultancy RANE, tells CNA’s Asia First that despite the US’ latest operation, the ceasefire is likely to “stay alive in name”.

Then, US and Israeli strikes on Iran led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, choking off a fifth of the world's oil supplies.
