SE Asia Stocks - Most higher amid inflows; Indonesia ends losing streak

BANGKOK, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Most Southeast Asian stock

markets gained on Wednesday in line with others in Asia, with

Indonesia snapping three days of falls aided by bargain-hunting,

but shares of coal miner PT Bumi Resources Tbk came

under selling pressure.

Jakarta's Composite Index finished up 0.4 percent,

recovering from a combined 1.2 percent loss over the past three

sessions, amid selective buying in recently beaten-down stocks

such as Bank Rakyat Indonesia.

Among underperformers, Bumi Resources dropped 2.1 percent

after a report that Indonesia may revoke the contracts of 17

coal miners that owe royalties to the government, including PT

Arutmin Indonesia, a unit of PT Bumi Resources Tbk.

The region brought in foreign inflows amid positive

sentiment in Asia, including Malaysia's 157.61 million

ringgit($50 million) worth of net foreign buying and Thailand's

419 million baht ($13.13 million), stock exchange data showed.

The Philippine stock market posted a net foreign

inflow of 1.2 billion peso ($27.48 million), mainly from strong

inflows into shares of Philippine Long Distance Telephone

, stock exchange data showed.

The euro was cracking under pressure on Wednesday as

feverish speculation of further policy stimulus in the euro zone

drove bond yields to all-time lows and lifted Asian stocks to

peaks not seen in almost seven years.
