Abstract:Indonesian equities and the Rupiah faced renewed selling pressure on Friday after Moody’s downgraded the nation's credit rating outlook, compounding a recent $80 billion market rout.

Southeast Asia‘s largest economy faced a turbulent end to the week as Indonesian stocks and the Rupiah (IDR) skidded on Friday. The selloff was triggered by Moody’s Investors Service lowering the countrys credit rating outlook, a move that severely dented investor sentiment.
This credit outlook adjustment serves as the latest jolt to the market, following a massive $80 billion rout in Indonesian equities just last week. The downgrade has exacerbated fears regarding the stability of the region's financial markets.
