Emerging markets: Indonesian shares slide nearly 2% as virus death toll mounts


SINGAPORE Jan 22 (Reuters): Indonesian shares were the worst hit among Asia's emerging stock markets on Friday after a record rise in domestic Covid-19 deaths, while the region's currencies took a breather from recent gains as the dollar steadied.

Stocks in Jakarta fell nearly 2%, while equities elsewhere in Asia also dipped, taking cues from a pause in a stimulus-driven global market rally.
