SE Asia Stocks-Fall; Singapore hits 1-wk low on expansionary budget
BANGKOK, March 24 (Reuters) - Southeast Asian stock markets fell on Thursday as a stronger dollar curbed risk appetite, with the Singapore index hitting a one-week low after the country adopted an expansionary stance in the national budget to counter lacklustre growth. Singapore's key Straits Times Index slipped 1.2 percent to its lowest close since March 16, taking losses on the week to about 2 percent. The city-state's bourse will be closed on Friday for the Easter weekend holiday. T
