TFP W9 2026: Sudden strikes, prolonged supply cuts

  • Strait of Hormuz closure has reduced global oil & gas supply, increasing prices of energy commodities as countries scramble for alternatives.
  • Prolonged price shocks could transfer to higher US CPI and weaker Rupiah, reducing The Fed and BI’s room to cut respectively.
  • Indonesia’s fiscal deficit could rise from increased oil price and weaker currency, which may cause a decline in other spending commitments.
