SE Asia Stocks - Indonesia leads regional losses on China selloff

BANGKOK, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Southeast Asian stock markets

fell on Monday as a selloff in Chinese shares dented Asian

stocks, with the Indonesian index marking its worst drop in a

month while Thai shares shed early gains amid mixed economic

data for October.

Jakarta's composite index ended the day down 2.5

percent, its biggest single-day fall since Oct. 29. It posted a

modest 0.2 percent loss in November.

Banking and consumer shares were among the most actively

traded. Bank Central Asia fell 5.9 percent while

Indofood Sukses Makmur slid 9.7 percent.

The Thai SET index eased 0.2 percent on the day and

shed 2.5 percent on the month.

Data from the Bank of Thailand showed private investment

rose in October, indicating the economy is making a little

headway though exports and domestic demand remained weak.

The region mostly suffered losses in November after gains in

October, with stocks in Vietnam and Singapore

leading the pack, off 5.6 percent and 4.8 percent respectively.

The spectre of higher U.S. interest rates and a potential

easing stance by the European Central Bank at its meeting due on

Thursday would keep investors in the region cautious, according

to brokers in Bangkok and in the region.
