Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The Indonesian currency rupiah gained slightly on Monday against the US dollar in a quite trade.

In inter-bank transactions, Rupiah traded at 9,582 to the dollar strengthening from the level of 9,590 earlier.

The currency gained  although  market players chose a wait and see position on  the release of US unemployment data, analysts said.

Trust Securities' analyst  Reza Priyambada said the market players responded positively to  European  Central Bank (ECB) maintaining the interest rate  and reactivation of  program to buy bonds issued by Euro zone countries.

"However, the positive sentiment was weakened by a comment by Bank of Japan which failed to announce additional monetary relaxation," Reza said.

Meanwhile, Ariston Tjendra , financial market analyst from  Investindo Futures, said  rupiah appreciation against the dollar continued following cut in US unemployment rate to a lowest level since 2009.(IGT)
