India, Oct. 13 -- The Indonesia stock market has moved lower in two straight sessions, sinking almost 170 points or 2.9 percent along the way. The Jakarta Composite Index now sits just above the 5,925-point plateau and it may take further damage again on Wednesday.

The global forecast for the Asian markets is soft on rising crude oil and treasuries, and also ahead of key U.S. inflation data. The European and U.S. markets were down and the Asian bourses are likely to follow that lead.
