Investors were also confused by mixed messages from the Fed, with hawkish comments from New York Fed President William Dudley and San Francisco Fed President John Williams clashing with the Fed's July meeting minutes this week saying more data is needed before interest rates can rise. Markets are awaiting an annual meeting of central bankers from around the world in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, next week, in which Fed Chair Janet yellen is likely to cement expectations for a slow pace of rate increases. Indonesian shares .JKSE closed lower after two sessions of gains as traders took a pause ahead of a central bank policy meeting, but posted a weekly gain of 0.72 pct. The bank formally makes the 7-day reverse repurchase rate its new benchmark on Friday, and a slim majority of analysts believe the rate will be held steady on its debut. "The consensus is pretty much a 25-basis point cut. But I would argue that it is unlikely. I think the 7-day reverse repo rate (the new benchmark) would stay unchanged at 5.25 percent," said Taye Shim, an analyst with Daewoo Securities Indonesia. Philippine shares .PSI ended lower, dragged down by banks. SM Prime Holdings Inc SMPH.PS and BDO Unibank Inc BDO.PS were among the top losers. Vietnam shares .VNI rose for a third straight session, led by energy stocks such as Petrovietnam Gas Joint Stock Corp GAS.HM , and posted a weekly gain of 1 percent. Brent crude oil prices hit an eight-week high as hopes that producers could agree measures to support crude buoyed sentiment. Singapore .STI closed higher as oil and gas stocks such as Sembcorp Industries Ltd SCIL.SI gained, but fell 0.82 percent on the week. Thai shares .SETI declined, weighed down by industrial stocks including Thai Sugar Terminal PCL TSTE.BK , while Malaysia .KLSE dropped as telecom stocks such as Axiata Group Bhd AXIA.KL and DiGi.Com Bhd DSOM.KL lost ground.

Indonesia to launch 13th economic package this month Coordinating Economic Minister Darmin Nasution said on Wednesday that the government would release its 13th economic policy package in August, adding that the draft had been completed. Darmin said the 13th package was largely an extension of the previous one, but would expand its focus beyond industry. The 12th package focused on small and medium enterprises. "We are just waiting to schedule a meeting with the president," Darmin told reporters at his office. He refused to give the exact date the new policy package would come into effect. The ministry team must meet with President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo one more time to finalize the details, Darmin said. |
