Feb 12 (Reuters) - Most Southeast Asian stocks rose on

Monday as Wall Street's recovery in the last session instilled

some confidence into Asian markets.

Wall Street's main stock indexes climbed more than 1 percent

on Friday, giving investors some solace after a week of major

swings that shook the market out of months of calm.

E-Mini futures for the S&P 500 rose 0.5 percent,

while MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan

climbed about 1 percent, having suffered a 7.3

percent drop last week.

Vietnam shares, which last week shed as much as 9.2

percent or more than a 100 points, rebounded as much as 1.5

percent.

Financial and real estate stocks led the gains, with Vietnam

Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Industry and Trade

gaining as much as over 6 percent.

Singapore stocks climbed as much as 0.4 percent on

gains in financials, consumer staples, and industrials. DBS

Group Holdings Ltd rose nearly 2 percent to an over

two-week high, while Thai Beverage PCL posted the

steepest gain in nearly two months.

Malaysian shares climbed as much as 0.8 percent, led

by financials and telecoms.

Financial services provider CIMB Group Holdings Bhd

rose as much as 1.6 percent, while Axiata Group Bhd

firmed nearly 3 percent, its biggest gain in over five

weeks.

Thai shares edged 0.5 percent higher on broad-based

gains, with real estate firm AQ Estate Pcl soaring over

33 percent.

Meanwhile, Philippine shares slid as much as 0.6

percent, on track for a third straight session of losses, as

industrials and consumer discretionary stocks weighed.

SM Investments Corp slipped as much as 1.6 percent,

making it the biggest drag on the main index.
