SE Asia Stocks -Thai stocks fall after unexpected rate cut; Indonesia extends losses

BANGKOK, April 29 (Reuters) - Thai stocks hit a four-week

low on Wednesday amid foreign-led selling after an unexpected

interest rate cut, while stocks in Indonesia fell for a sixth

successive session as weak corporate earnings dented the broader

market sentiment.

Bangkok's SET index finished down 0.6 percent at

1,522.47, the lowest close since March 31. It fell as much as

1.1 percent at one point after the Bank of Thailand unexpectedly

cut its key policy rate for a second straight meeting.

Large caps led losses, with PTT Pcl down 2.5

percent and Siam Commercial Bank Pcl lower 1.2 percent.

The market saw a net foreign selling worth 2.9 billion baht

($88.31 million), stock exchange data showed.

The Jakarta composite index ended down 2.6 percent,

taking its loss over six trading days to 6.5 percent. It was the

worst performing index in Asia, with a year-to-date loss of 2.3

percent.

Indonesia's biggest cement producer, PT Semen Indonesia Tbk

, which reported an 8.5 percent drop in first-quarter

net profit, was down 1.9 percent.

Stocks in Singapore, Malaysia and the

Philippines tracked Asia lower, while Vietnam

remained closed through this week for national holidays.

Asian share markets faded from seven-year peaks, while

investors exited crowded positions in the U.S. dollar as the

Federal Reserve wraps up a two-day policy meeting.
