SE Asia Stocks-Fall on uncertainty around global growth, trade spat

* Philippines worst performer in the region

* Singapore shares extend fall to a fifth session

* Malaysia hits lowest since Jan, 2017

Dec 10 (Reuters) - Southeast Asian stock markets slipped on

Monday, after worries about a slowdown in global growth along

with trade war concerns between the world's two largest

economies kept investors on the back foot.

A raft of negative factors cast a shadow on already rattled

markets, including soft trade data from China and comments from

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on imposing tariffs on

more Chinese imports.

China reported weaker-than-expected November exports and

imports on Saturday, reflecting slower global and domestic

demand, with exports only rising 5.4 percent from a year

earlier, well short of the 10 percent forecast in a Reuters

poll.

Market sentiment has been already subdued after the arrest

of the chief financial officer of Chinese technology giant

Huawei Technologies in Canada, on Thursday. The arrest could

throw up another hurdle to the resolution of a trade war between

the United States and China.

In Southeast Asia, the Philippines extended losses to

a fourth straight session, falling 1.5 percent to its lowest

since Nov. 23.

The index, the worst performer in the region, was dragged

down by declines in industrials with SM Investments Corp

shedding 4.3 percent.

Singapore shares fell to their lowest in more than

two weeks, hurt by financials and industrials.

Southeast Asia's largest lender DBS Group Holdings

fell 1.4 percent while conglomerate Jardine Matheson Holdings

slipped to a more-than-one-week low.

Malaysian shares plunged to their lowest since Jan.

17, 2017, with financials and consumer non-cyclicals accounting

for most of the declines.

Shares of Hong Leong Bank dropped to their lowest

in two months, falling 1.5 percent.

Elsewhere, consumer discretionary and banking sectors

weighed on Indonesia's benchmark index with Bank Central

Asia Tbk PT hitting a one-week low.

The index of country's 45 most liquid stocks ended

0.3 percent lower.

Financial markets in Thailand were closed for a public

holiday.
