Indonesia GDP, US midterm elections, Hong Kong financial summit - Nikkei Asia
Indonesia reports its latest gross domestic product figure as it wrestles with the health and economic impacts of fires and haze, as well as market pressures from a potential MSCI downgrade. The country has also experienced fuel shortages amid the fallout from the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.
The U.S. holds midterm elections that are set to have implications for Asia, as voters across the political spectrum have signaled their opposition to the massive data center projects that have boosted Asian tech suppliers' bottom lines. The outcome might also influence U.S.-China relations: While Republicans and Democrats both support Taipei, if the Democrats take over one or both houses of Congress, they could be more eager to pressure U.S. President Donald Trump into moving ahead with a $14 billion arms package for Taiwan.
