  "account": "The Indonesian Rupiah weakened as MSCI considered downgrading Indonesia to a standalone market due to persistent concerns over market investability and governance. USD/IDR strengthened as the Rupiah faced pressure following MSCI's announcement, trading around 18,090 during Asian hours. Bank Indonesia reaffirmed its commitment to an active market presence to stabilize the Rupiah. Indonesia Stock Exchange planned to engage directly with MSCI to address their concerns. USD/IDR's upside was limited as USD declined following comments from Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh. Warsh emphasized the Fed's commitment to price stability and refused to prejudge upcoming policy meetings. US Treasury Undersecretary Erin Browne urged the IMF to take a more assertive approach to identifying global imbalances and warned that sharp, disorderly currency moves could trigger volatility across broader financial markets.",
