Indonesian stocks drop more than 2 per cent

Indonesian stocks drop more than 2 per centJakarta - Indonesian stocks dropped 2.15 per cent Thursday, sparked by falls across Asia after US stocks sank to a five-year low.

The Jakarta Composite Index ended at 1,154.97, down 25.39 points.

Dealers said the decline was in line with falls in markets across Asia as well as the drop on Wall Street.

The Indonesian rupiah, meanwhile, tumbled to its weakest level since the Asian financial crisis a decade ago. The rupiah traded at 12,350 against the greenback at mid-day, dealers said. (dpa)
