Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The Indonesian currency rupiah gained 40 points against the US dollar on Wednesday morning boosted by market expectation of bail out fund to prop up ailing Greek economy.

Rupiah traded at 9,595 to the US dollar in interbank transactions strengthening from 9,635 .

Trust Securities' analyst  Reza Priyambada said rupiah rose in value as the market saw the finance minister of the European Union had softened on Greece  over its  debt installments.

Meanwhile, there was speculation  that the US government and Congress agreed to raise taxes but not very high, Reza said.

Monex Investindo Futures' researcher  Ariston Tjendra said  the rupiah rise was overshadowed by profit taking .

Ariston said US economic data is positive enough to push up dollar  and US consumers confidence is growing.(IGT)
