BANGKOK, Nov 1 (Reuters) - Indonesian shares fell for a

second session on Friday amid uncertainties over the U.S.

stimulus cut, while Thai stocks retreated in thin market due to

rising domestic political tension.

Jakarta's Composite Index (JCI) closed down 1.7

percent at 4,432.59, the lowest close in almost four weeks.

Foreign investors sold $47.90 million, taking their selling on

the week to $64.94 million, Thomson Reuters data showed.

Indonesia was Southeast Asia's worst performer on the week,

with the JCI index down 3.2 percent, the biggest weekly drop

since late September and reversing three weeks of gains.

Among losers, shares in PT Bumi Resources Tbk

dropped 2.2 percent after the thermal coal exporter reported

weak earnings.

Broker Bahana Securities maintained its "reduce" rating on

the stock.

"As we are of the view that coal industry outlook will

remain bleak going forward, we expect BUMI's market

underperformance to linger," the broker said in a report.

Thai SET index fell about 1 percent, ending the week

1.8 percent lower, the second worst in the region.

Thai stock exchange saw light trading volume amid protests

against the political amnesty bill.

Stocks in Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam

posted modest weekly losses. The Philippines,

which was shut on Friday, eked out a weekly gain of 0.7 percent,

outperforming its peers.
