India, July 3 -- The Indonesia stock market has finished lower in three straight sessions, slumping almost 50 points or 0.8 percent along the way. The Jakarta Composite Index now sits just shy of the 6,880-point plateau although it may stop the bleeding on Friday.
The global forecast for the Asian markets is positive thanks to better than expected U.S. employment data. The European and U.S. markets were up and the Asian bourses figure to follow that lead.
The JCI finished barely lower on Thursday following mixed performances from the financial shares and resource stocks.
For the day, the index dipped 3.19 points or 0.05 percent to finish at 6,878.05 after trading between 6,877.44 and 6,922.73.
