SE Asia Stocks-Most fall on soft China economic data; Indonesia top loser

* Most markets extend falls, Vietnam bucks trend

* Malaysia's IHH Healthcare hits 4-yr closing low

By Aman Swami

Nov 12 (Reuters) - Most Southeast Asian stock markets closed

lower on Monday, with Indonesia shedding over 1.5 percent, as

soft China economic data revived concerns about global growth.

China's producer inflation slowed for the fourth month in

October on cooling domestic demand and manufacturing activity,

data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed on Friday.

Risk asset markets have been under intense pressure lately

as fears of a peak in earnings growth added to anxieties about

slowing global trade and investment.

Meanwhile, a spike in U.S. bond yields, driven by the

Federal Reserve's commitment to keep raising borrowing costs,

has also shaken emerging markets as investors poured money into

U.S. dollar assets.

Financials and consumer stables were the top losers in

Indonesia, with the benchmark stock index declining 1.7

percent to a near two-week closing low.

Unilever Indonesia Tbk PT dipped 2.4 percent,

while Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk PT fell 5

percent.

Philippine shares fell for a second straight session,

dragged by financials and industrials.

Aboitiz Equity Ventures Inc and Metro Pacific

Investments Corp fell about 4.2 percent each.

Singapore stocks closed lower for a second

consecutive session, with Singapore Telecommunications Ltd

, Southeast Asia's largest telecom operator, declining

1.6 percent to a three-month closing low, while DBS Group

Holdings Ltd, the city-state's largest lender, fell

about 1 percent to a near two-week closing low.

Malaysian shares extended falls into a second

session with IHH Healthcare Bhd shedding 3.7 percent

to a 4-year closing low and financial services provider CIMB

Group declining 1.1 percent.

Thai shares erased early gains to close 0.8 percent

lower. Financials and materials were the top losers with index

heavyweights Kasikornbank PCL and Siam Cement PCL

shedding 2.9 percent and 1.4 percent, respectively.

Meanwhile, Vietnam shares edged higher on the back of

financials and consumer staples. Saigon Beer Alcohol Beverage

Corp rose 3.1 percent to a five-month closing high,

while BaoViet Holdings climbed 2 percent.
