Mixed Asia markets; South Korea rebounds, Indonesia sinks
In short
Asian markets moved in different directions. South Korea rose 1.8%, Taiwan slipped 0.6%, and Indonesia fell 3.6% after MSCI warned it could be downgraded from the emerging-market basket.
This matters because investors are reacting to index changes and AI spending worries. The reporting does not say exactly how Indian banking stocks or oil prices affected the market move.

The report says Indonesia’s drop followed an MSCI warning that it could be downgraded from the emerging-market basket, while investors also worried about excess AI investment. The source does not give specific figures for Indian markets or explain the banking and oil references in the headline.
