Indonesia crash
Indonesian stocks fell the most since the 1998 Asian financial crisis — a 28-year record — after MSCI warned the country could be pulled from its indexes. WSJ's Amanda Lee and Nikkei both confirm the move, and both point at the same mechanics: index funds must sell whether they want to or not, and that overhang lasts months. BBCA.JK and BBRI.JK, the two heaviest weights, each fell about 15% in the last session, so the first leg is priced and the crowding has already shifted. Watch MSCI's formal review timeline for the next catalyst.
Sell Indonesia equities — WSJ and Nikkei both confirm a 28-year-record drop on MSCI's downgrade warning; forced passive selling runs for months, not days, so the overhang outlives the first move.
Sell Bank Central Asia — Biggest index constituent fell 14.8% in the last session and sits 41% below its 52-week high at 2.35x book — the review overhang, not the price, is the remaining risk.
Sell Bank Rakyat Indonesia — Second heavyweight fell 14.8% last session and trades at 6.0x forward and 1.2x book — cheap, but foreign index-fund outflows keep pressure on the share count.
