Indonesia's Jakarta Composite slipped 0.9 percent to 4,597.78, the lowest close since July 29, with shares in the market's biggest firm by value PT Astra International Tbk extending their loss on day to almost 4 percent after a brokerage earnings downgrade. The region was broadly focussed on quarterly earnings results for further market indications, while caution over Indonesia's review of interest rates this week dented stock market sentiment, brokers said. Indonesia's central bank is expected to keep its benchmark rate at 6.5 percent on Thursday, a Reuters poll showed, though a sizable minority of respondents predicted another hike to battle high inflation and a wide current account deficit.
