SE Asia Stocks-Philippines notches up 23 pct gain in 2014; AirAsia lags in Malaysia

Reuters

BANGKOK, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Southeast Asian stock markets

mostly rose on Monday, with Philippine shares hitting a two-week

closing high and notching up a 23 percent gain in 2014, while

domestic fund buying helped lift regional large caps in a

holiday-shortened week.

The Philippine main index rose 0.62 percent to

7,230.57, its highest close since Dec. 15, amid active buying in

shares of Universal Robina Corp and Metropolitan Bank &

Trust Co.

It gained 22.8 percent on the year, making it one of

Southeast Asia's outperformers. The Philippine stock market will

be closed from Dec. 30 through Jan. 2 for public holidays.

Trading will resume on Monday, Jan. 5.

Singapore and Malaysia both advanced for an

eighth successive session, while Indonesia ended higher

for a third session.

Thailand retreated after edging up in early hours of

trading due to selling by brokerage firms while domestic

institutions and foreign investors were net buyers, stock

exchange data showed.

Regional exchanges had a rangebound session and saw buying

by local fund managers ahead the year's end.

The Malaysian bourse said domestic institutions bought a net

89 million ringgit ($25.46 million) worth of shares, countering

selling by foreign and retail investors.

Shares of Maybank led among gainers with a 0.3

percent gain. Shares in AirAsia fell 8.5 percent,

their biggest one-day drop in more than three years after one of

its aircraft went missing on its way to Singapore from the

Indonesian city of Surabaya.
