SE Asia Stocks-Most subdued ahead of cenbanks' policy decisions; Indonesia drags

* Thailand on track to snap three sessions of losses * Malaysia February inflation expected to fall * Singapore set to snap three sessions of gains By Shreya Mariam Job March 19 (Reuters) - Most Southeast Asian stock markets were subdued in thin trading on Tuesday, with Indonesia falling the most, as investors remained on sidelines ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve policy meeting, and policy decisions by some regional central banks. The Federal Reserve is likely to hold interest rates at its policy meeting, waiting until the third quarter before raising rates once more, according to a Reuters poll. The Indonesian index was the worst hit in the region, dipping 0.4 percent. Consumer stocks led declines as Bank Indonesia is expected to keep rates on hold at their meeting on Thursday despite the country recording the lowest inflation in nearly a decade. "Current economic data is still not immediately supportive of a cut given that the trade situation remains fragile," a note from OCBC had said. Indonesia's central bank is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged for a fourth straight month on Thursday, according to a Reuters poll, with a growing number of analysts expecting BI's next move to be a cut. Shares of conglomerate Astra International Tbk Pt and animal food manufacturer Charoen Pokphand Indonesia Tbk Pt dipped below 2 percent. An index of the country's 45 most liquid stocks declined 0.6 percent. Singapore's benchmark fell marginally with industrial majors Jardine Matheson Holdings Ltd and Jardine Strategic Holdings Ltd slipping 0.9 percent and 0.6 percent, respectively. Meanwhile, Thai index moved up 0.3 percent recovering from three straight sessions of losses, ahead of the Bank of Thailand policy meeting on Wednesday. Thailand's central bank is expected to keep its benchmark policy rate steady on Wednesday for a second straight review after a hike in December, a Reuters poll showed, in a bid to support a slowing economy. Malaysian stocks pared early gains as investors exercised caution ahead of the country's February inflation data, which is expected to fall according to a Reuters poll.
