SE Asia Stocks -Indonesia off highs; Thai index up on low free float stocks

BANGKOK, Jan 26 (Reuters) - The Indonesian key stock index

retreated on Monday from a record close in the previous session

as investors booked quick profits while the Thai benchmark eked

out further gains, breaching the key 1,600 level, amid selective

trading in low free-float stocks.

Stocks in Singapore and Malaysia snapped

rising streaks, with others markets trimming gains as global

markets turned cautious after Greece's Syriza party promised to

roll back austerity measures after its victory in a snap

election.

Jakarta's composite index fell almost 2 percent to

5,222.72, coming off a record close of 5,323.89 hit on Friday,

when investors cheered the European Central Bank's

larger-than-expected bond-buying programme.

Broker BNI Securities said in a report that JCI is "prone to

profit taking".

Shares of Bank Mandiri dropped 3.5 percent after a

surge on Friday to a record closing high amid a rights offering

planned in the next six months and as investors awaited the

quarterly financial results of banks.

Bangkok's SET index was up 0.4 percent amid trading

in shares of Bank of Ayudhya and CIMB Thai Bank

, among stocks which have a small portion of

publicly-traded shares.

Bank of Ayudhya is 76.88 percent owned by Japan's Mitsubishi

UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) while CIMB Thai Bank is 93.7

percent owned by Malaysia's CIMB Bank Bhd, stock

exchange data shows.

Brokers expected weak trading sentiment in the near term.

"Concerns about Greece exiting the euro zone could rise and

lead to volatility in equities, commodities and FX markets in

the near-term," broker KGI Securities said in a report.

Singapore's Straits Times Index eased 0.33 percent

after a fifth straight gain on Friday to the highest since May

2013, while Malaysia's index fell 0.5 percent, poised to

snap three sessions of gains.

Stocks in the Philippines recovered from early losses

while Vietnam traded nearly flat after slipping at one

point.
