Southeast Asian markets: Singapore, Thailand lead regional losses

Singapore shares fell to their lowest in nearly five weeks while Thai stocks hit four week lows on Wednesday, dragged lower by index heavyweights such as banking and commodities shares as risk aversion weighed on global stocks. Singapore's Straits Times Index ended down 1.21 percent at 2,946.44, the lowest since March 8.
Thailand's benchmark SET index fell for the fourth straight session, finishing down 0.95 percent, led by a 2.3 percent drop in the biggest firm by market value and top energy firm PTT Pcl.
