The Indonesian rupiah and government bonds slipped for a third day on Thursday, with investors keeping an eye on whether a small protest in Jakarta may balloon into a larger demonstration. The rupiah weakened 0.3% to 17,758 against the US dollar, while the yield on 10-year government bonds rose 5 basis points to 7.10%. Protesters gathered in front of the gates of the Indonesian House of Representatives building in Jakarta.

Market participants are monitoring the situation for potential impact on regional financial stability.
