Asean markets: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand close 1% up

BANGKOK: Southeast Asian stock markets rose on Monday, in line with Asia as expectations the U.S. Fed would hike interest rates this year faded after weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs data, with the key Indonesian index posting its best gain in nearly six weeks. 
    The Jakarta composite index jumped 3.2 percent, its biggest single-day gain since Aug. 27, while Singapore shares  advanced 2.1 percent and the Philippine index increased 1.6 percent.
    Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam ended more than 1 percent higher.
