India, Oct. 19 -- The Indonesia stock market has finished lower in three straight sessions, crashing more than 950 points or 16.6 percent in that span. The Jakarta Composite Index now sits just beneath the 5,000-point plateau although it has a positive lead again for Tuesday's trade.

The global forecast for the Asian is mixed to higher, with bargain hunting likely in the oversold bourses, although the upside may be capped by increased oil prices. The European markets were down and the U.S. bourses were mostly higher and the Asian markets figure to split the difference.
