Southeast Asian central banks are using tools other than rate hikes to defend their currencies against the surging dollar as bets on higher-for-longer Federal Reserve rates take hold.

Indonesia is keeping a tight leash on liquidity by selling bills while Malaysia’s interbank rate has risen to the highest since July. The shift comes despite earlier calls for peak rates in Southeast Asia as the threat of food and energy-related inflation pressures as well as elevated Fed rates spur caution.

OPEC+ Cuts Offset By Booming U.S. Oil Production​

By Tsvetana Paraskova - Sep 25, 2023, 7:00 PM CDT

Despite the fact that U.S. oil producers are now deploying the lowest number of drilling rigs in more than a year and a half, America's crude oil production is set to hit a monthly record in September-at 13 million barrels per day (bpd), according to estimates by Rystad Energy.

Production growth has slowed due to the discipline U.S. shale producers have shown in the past two years, but a slower increase still means that output is headed higher, the energy research firm says, as carried by The Wall Street Journal.


The expected monthly record in September will match the record output from November 2019, the only other month in which U.S. production hit 13 million bpd-just a few months before the pandemic crippled demand, sank oil prices and led to production cuts across the board.

U.S. crude oil production is set to increase even more until the end of the year, with October and four-quarter output estimated to average 13 million bpd-13.1 million bpd, according to Rystad Energy's analysis based on regulatory filings, satellite imagery, and pipeline flows.

Even at a slower pace, American production is growing and offsetting part of the OPEC+ cuts, although the extended Saudi and Russian supply reductions are set to tighten the global oil market more than previously expected.

Asean can easily sell their products using local currency. Otherwise they will face inflationary pressures. And peg each to other's currency at a fix raterate
So if one falls, all fall, if one rises, all rise.

That's according to each country's respective central bank.

The move comes after the five Southeast Asian countries signed an official agreement late last year. At the recent ASEAN summit in May, leaders also reiterated their commitment to the project, pledging to work on a road map to expand regional payment links to all ten ASEAN members.

The scheme is aimed at supporting and facilitating cross-border trade settlements, investment, remittance and other economic activities with the goal of implementing an inclusive financial ecosystem around Southeast Asia.

Analysts say retail industries will particularly benefit amid an expected rise in consumer spending, which could in turn strengthen tourism.

Regional connectivity is considered crucial to reduce the region's reliance on external currencies like the U.S. dollar for cross-border transactions, particularly among businesses. The greenback's strength in recent years has resulted in weaker ASEAN currencies, which hurts those economies since the majority of the bloc's members are net energy and food importers.
