SE Asia Stocks -Most weaker; Indonesia retreats from record high

BANGKOK, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Southeast Asian stock markets

mostly fell on Monday, with the Indonesian benchmark retreating

from the previous session's record closing high amid

profit-taking, while shares of Thai Airways International

underperformed on the Bangkok bourse.

Jakarta's composite index closed down 1.2 percent at

5,260.02 from Friday's record closing high of 5,323.89. Selling

hit recent gainers such as Bank Mandiri and Unilever

Indonesia.

In Bangkok, shares of national carrier Thai Airways dropped

5.1 percent amid concerns about its finances, traders said.

Thailand's military-led government has approved a

restructuring plan for Thai Airways in a bid to restore

profitability to the national carrier's operations, a senior

government official said on Monday.

The broader SET index fell 0.6 percent, erasing

early gains.

Shares of Bank of Ayudhya, which led the index

higher in early trade, finished 13.8 percent lower after the

bank denied a report about acquisition of additional BAY shares

by major shareholder Japan's Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group

(MUFG) and delisting from the exchange.

Stocks in Singapore and Malaysia ended

lower after last week's rallies, with other 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.
