Good question!

Yesterday was weekend,so the rate was tagged (in Indonesia) at either the Friday rate or Saturday rate depending on which money changer you go to. Not many banks operate on a Sunday.

So,when you get below 9600 when XE is at 9680 on Sunday,it means you need to check Fri/Sat rate.

Hope that answer your question.

Cheers!

Side note : One of the reason why I often check on the Indonesia public holiday. I should be able to get 9600/SGD and/or higher, since XE is now at 9670/SGD at the point of this post.
