Southeast Asian SGX stocks were
mostly higher on Friday, with Indonesia snapping three sessions
of losses after the new central bank governor's view of low
interest rates, and Thailand nearly touching the 1,600 mark on
progress of infrastructure investment.
Jakarta's Composite Index finished up 0.7 percent at
4,819.32, trimming its loss on the week to 1.1 percent.
It rallied almost 10 percent over the past six weeks, setting a record close of 4,874.50 on March 8. Thai SET index rose for the third session, ending up 0.7 percent at a 19-year closing high of 1,598.13. It gained almost 2 percent on the week, Southeast Asia's second best performer. Vietnam led the region with a weekly gain of 2.3 percent. Thai government's progress on plans for huge infrastructure investment has bolstered demand, with the cabinet set to meet next week to discuss 2 trillion baht ($67.5 billion) in spending.
Bucking the trend, Kuala Lumpur's Composite Index lost almost 1 percent to 1,627.64, the lowest close in more than two weeks. The Philippines eased 0.6 percent, extending losses for a fifth session, to 6,654.60. Across the region, investors bought stocks with good earnings and yielding good dividends. In the Philippines, conglomerate Alliance Global Group Inc jumped 2.5 percent after it reported strong 2012 earnings. Among bright spots, Thailand's SkyTrain operator BTS Group Holdings Pcl jumped 3.4 percent following its plan to raise up to $2.1 billion by listing an infrastructure fund.
