SINGAPORE, June 19 (Reuters) - Indonesian stocks swung
between gains and losses on Friday as investors assessed MSCI's ( MSCI )
latest warning about Indonesia's investability ahead of
Tuesday's high-stakes decision over the country's emerging
markets status.
Jakarta stocks were last down 0.5% in early trading
after MSCI ( MSCI ) on Thursday lowered Indonesia's information flow
criterion to negative, reflecting opacity in ownership data and
market activity, but analysts deemed the review to not indicate
an impending downgrade.
Attention will now be on MSCI's ( MSCI ) decision on Tuesday, whether
the index provider downgrades Indonesia's market classification
to frontier status from emerging, a move that could trigger
outflows worth as much as $13 billion.
