Bareksa.com - This Tuesday (July 22) in Asia, Indonesia is set to announce the official results of its 2014 presidential election. Populist former Jakarta governor Joko Widodo is expected to beat his opponent, Prabowo Subianto, by a slim margin. Though the ex-military strongman has already said he won't accept the official outcome due to alleged cheating. With the stock exchange up some 20 percent this year so far in part on expectations of a Jokowi win, investors should watch this closely in the coming days. (Source : Reuters)
