Indonesia Stocks Plunge Amid MSCI Downgrade Fears | JQJO

Indonesia’s benchmark stock index fell over five percent on Monday, reaching its lowest level in six years. The Jakarta Composite Index slid to a trough not seen since early October two years ago, sparking a bruising sell‑off in Indonesian equities.

MSCI, the index provider, proposed reclassifying Indonesia from an emerging market to stand‑alone status, raising the prospect of removal from major global equity benchmarks. Goldman Sachs warned that a full removal could trigger approximately five point six billion dollars in passive fund outflows, while an additional two point seven billion dollars could be at risk if FTSE Russell follows suit.

The MSCI Indonesia Index has fallen forty‑seven percent this year, with foreign investors withdrawing a net five point one billion dollars. Foreign ownership of Indonesian stocks has dropped from twenty‑seven percent in January to twenty‑five percent in October, and the value of foreign holdings

Kendall’s absence, coupled with her Instagram silence, prompted fans to speculate about a possible feud between the sisters.

The author, a professor in Zurich and a Swiss militia helicopter pilot, explains a recent silence as a result of teaching duties and annual flight training. He describes his responsibilities as a captain, noting the need for a minimum of fifty hours of training each year. The writer also shares personal reflections, mentioning his family—Jocelyne, the children, Gino, Tsigane, and Safira—and his commitment to Switzerland’s defense. He criticises the U.S. president’s actions, describing them as “cowardice” that erodes America’s credibility. Finally, he turns to astronomy, noting that the Magellanic Clouds are two galaxies visible to the naked eye from the southern hemisphere and that they have never been visited by the author.

After the Broncos’ overtime victory over the Seahawks, Prime Video’s Ryan Fitzpatrick called Bo Nix’s performance garbage. Payton, however, said he has not considered benching the quarterback. He emphasized improving the offensive line and running game instead. Payton also said he focuses on the next game against Arizona, ignoring media criticism. Fitzpatrick will have another chance to evaluate Nix before the Steelers matchup on Black Friday.

A Purdue University team that searched for Amelia Earhart’s missing Lockheed Electra 10‑E on the remote Pacific island of Nikumaroro has reported a setback. The expedition, which focused on the Taraia Object—a visual anomaly first spotted in satellite imagery in 2020—found no conclusive evidence that the object was aircraft wreckage. Instead, the team concluded the anomaly was likely a collection of large trees deposited along the peninsula’s sandspit. By the time the team arrived, much of the debris had fragmented and washed away, leaving only a single Y‑shaped fragment. The fragment’s reflective surface was caused by a carbonate veneer, and other items found were coated with a shiny concretized amalgam of coral sand. Despite the disappointment, the expedition uncovered several artifacts, including a 30‑inch steel tube, that could help study how debris travels through the lagoon. The team remains hopeful that Earhart may have ended up on Nikumaroro, but no artifacts were conclusively linked to the missing aircraft.

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other alleged 9/11 plotters seeking to enforce a plea deal. The men had agreed to life sentences in a 2024 deal signed by a military commission judge. Days later, then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin rejected the proposal, claiming authority to override it. Military courts said Austin had no such power, and an August ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit favored the government. The Supreme Court’s decision removes a barrier to Mohammed’s trial before a military commission in 2028, where the death penalty is possible. Mohammed has been held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, since 2006.

Federal officials carried out a major voter‑fraud operation in Commerce, California, on Monday morning, arresting more than two dozen people accused of registering to vote as noncitizens. The action is part of the Department of Justice’s statewide "Operation Protect the Vote" initiative, which involves all four U.S. attorney districts in California. The operation follows a recent DOJ warning that processing ballots from suspected noncitizens could expose election officials to criminal investigation. The arrests come amid heightened tensions between the Trump administration and California over election administration and noncitizen voting allegations ahead of the midterm election.

Independent MP Helen Haines was struck by a car and severely injured outside her office in the regional Victorian town of Wangaratta.
