Stocks in Singapore and Indonesia posted modest gains in light trade on Friday while most others ended little changed or weaker as investors were wary of the euro zone debt crisis and cautious ahead of US non-farm payrolls data for July. Singapore's Straits Times Index finished up 0.5 percent, reversing a 0.49 percent loss on Thursday. On the week, it was up 1.76 percent, the region's best performer.
Jakarta's Composite Index edged up 0.16 percent, regaining some lost ground from a 1.2 percent fall over past two sessions. Thai SET index fell 0.3 percent, snapping a four-day gaining streak amid late selling in large cap stocks. It posted a 1.7 weekly gain, the second best.
