The US Federal Funds Rate is also projected to rise in the fourth quarter of 2026.US Treasury yields have also increased and are expected to remain high amid growing expectations of higher FFR rates and the continued wide US budget deficit.Persistent uncertainty in global financial markets has also dampened global investors’ appetite for portfolio investments in emerging markets. This has contributed to continued strength in the US dollar against both major currencies, as reflected in the DXY, and emerging-market currencies, reflected in the ADXY.According to BI, these developments require stronger coordination between fiscal and monetary policies to bolster Indonesia’s external resilience, maintain stability and support domestic economic growth.Read: Palace on Prabowo's Dual Citizenship Proposal: It'll Be Highly SelectiveClick here to get the latest news updates from Tempo on Google News","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
