Meanwhile, domestic good news and foreign good news do not have a significant negative effect on changes in the rupiah exchange rate. In the period before Covid-19, partial domestic bad news and changes in the exchange rate had a significant positive effect on changes in the rupiah exchange rate. Meanwhile, bad news abroad does not have a significant positive effect on changes in the rupiah exchange rate. Domestic good news and foreign good news do not have a significant negative effect on changes in the rupiah exchange rate. In the period during Covid-19, partial domestic bad news, foreign bad news, and changes in exchange rates had a significant positive impact on changes in the rupiah exchange rate.
