JAKARTA, May 24 (Reuters) - Indonesian and
Vietnamese shares rebounded from their previous session's
steep falls, while most Southeast Asian markets were closed on
Friday for a local holiday.
Jakarta's Composite Index rose 0.66 percent to 5,155.09,
boosted by a 2 percent jump in property shares.
Vietnam's broader benchmark index closed up 0.4 percent as
institutional investors bought shares of real estate and
building materials companies on expectation of a boost to the
economy, and on lower inflation numbers.
The Philippine index closed 0.62 percent lower at
7,268.91. The Philippines' imports in March fell for a third
straight month with the pace of decline accelerating since
February, raising concerns that growth may slow for the
export-reliant economy.
Thailand, Singapore and Malaysian stock markets were closed
on Friday and will reopen on Monday.
