SE Asia Stocks-Most fall; Malaysia retreats from 3-month top

* Indonesian shares down after 2 sessions of gains

* Philippine shares fell for 2nd session in three

By Sumeet Gaikwad

Aug 29 (Reuters) - Most Southeast Asian stock markets fell

on Wednesday as a lack of supportive cues and caution ahead of a

looming deadline on tariffs with China hurt risk sentiment.

A new set of tariffs may kick in next week as the deadline

for public comment on U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to

impose 25 percent tariffs on another $200 billion of Chinese

goods is on Sept. 5.

Philippine shares fell for a second session in three,

dragged by financials and consumer staples. Ayala Corp

was among the biggest drags with a drop of 1.4 percent, while

Universal Robina Corp slid over 2 percent.

Malaysian shares retreated from a three-month high

hit in the previous session. Medical gloves and equipment maker

Hartalega Holdings Bhd was the biggest drag with a

drop of 3 percent. Dialog Group followed closely with

a 2.6 percent decline.

Indonesian shares fell after two straight sessions

of gains with financials leading the decline. Bank Central Asia

and Bank Negara Indonesia declined 1.4

percent and 2 percent, respectively.

Thai shares were largely flat with Siam Commercial

Bank rising 1 percent, while oil and gas producer PTT

declined 0.5 percent.

Singapore shares rose marginally as gains in

financials offset losses in industrials.

Top lender DBS Group Holdings rose as much as 0.5

percent, while diversified conglomerate Jardine Matheson

Holdings fell over 1 percent.
