India, June 24 -- The Indonesia stock market has finished lower in three straight sessions, slumping almost 300 points or 4.9 percent along the way. The Jakarta Composite Index now sits just above the 5,880-point plateau and it's likely to see continued selling pressure on Thursday.

The global forecast for the Asian markets is slightly soft, with selling pressure among the technology stocks likely to tip the markets into the red. The European and U.S. bourses were mostly lower and the Asian markets figure to follow that lead.
