Hello reader,

Things were looking up (and up) for the IHSG in recent weeks, but today saw a massive sell-off that plunged the country’s benchmark stock index by more than 8 percent, triggering a trading halt.

Read on for more on what caused the IHSG to nosedive and the steps required for its rebound. Plus: are we getting a new foreign minister, and has the Nipah virus made its way to Indonesia? All that, and more, in today’s edition.

Cheers,

Andra
