CLOSE 589.66 % CHANGE -0.53% HIGH 590.56 LOW 586.49 Asean SE Asia Stocks - Thai index snaps losses after surprise rate cut Thai shares snapped two days of losses on Wednesday after the central bank unexpectedly cut a policy interest rate to help lift the domestic economy while others in Southeast Asia fell amid worries about an earlier U.S. interest rate hike. The Bank of Thailand's decision to cut its benchmark one-day repurchase rate by 25 basis points to 1.75 percent came during the midday break and helped lure buyers back in the afternoon session. The key SET index ended up 0.8 percent, recovering from a loss in early trade. The lower interest rate also sent the baht to a near two-month low. "It's positive for the stock market. The central bank's view on the economy is not encouraging but the market took the rate cut as a compensation for weaker growth," said senior analyst Pichai Lertsupongkij of Thanachart Securities. In Indonesia, the weaker rupiah further hit sentiment. The Jakarta composite index ended down 0.8 percent at 5,419.57, the lowest close in more than two weeks. The weakening rupiah is posing a threat to foreign investors' unhedged positions, said Norico Gaman, head of research at BNI Securities in Jakarta. The currency hit a fresh 17-year low on Wednesday. "After the index rose to its all-time high above 5,500 level, investors are cashing in their profits especially when the rupiah continues to weaken," Gaman said. Asian stocks skidded to a two-month low on Wednesday as nervous markets recoiled on worries about an earlier U.S. interest rate hike, a prospect that sent the dollar to a 12-year high against the euro.
