Emerging markets: Indonesia's rupiah hits 4-month low as Asian stocks take big hit

Stock markets in Asia suffered early falls following overnight comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, who reiterated the Fed's policy stance as appropriate, even though he thought the recent bond sell-off was "notable".
