India, Oct. 22 -- The Indonesia stock market has finished higher in three straight sessions, adding more than 390 points or 7.6 percent in that span. The Jakarta Composite Index now sits just beneath the 5,390-point plateau although the rally may stall on Friday.

The global forecast for the Asian markets is negative on rising oil prices and continued pressure on the technology sectors. The European and U.S. markets were mostly lower on Thursday and the Asian markets are expected to open in similar fashion.
