SE Asia Stocks-Most slide on trade war jitters, headed for weekly decline

* Most indexes set to end week lower

* Singapore shares hit over 1-year low

* Philippine index down for 3rd day

Sept 7 (Reuters) - Most Southeast Asian stock markets fell

on Friday in line with broader Asia, as investors feared a new

round of Sino-U.S. tariffs, while lingering economic woes in

emerging markets also hit sentiment.

The public comment period on the Trump administration's plan

to impose tariffs on $200 billion more of Chinese goods was set

to end by midnight in Washington on Thursday, and investors were

edgy as the tariffs could go into effect shortly afterward.

Emerging market stocks have been rattled this week as

currencies in Argentina, Turkey and Indonesia lost ground and

South Africa slipped into a recession.

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

lost 0.8 percent, its sixth straight daily

decline, while benchmark stock indexes in Singapore, the

Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia were each poised to end the

week lower.

Financial stocks dragged the Singapore index as much

as 0.8 percent lower to a near 1-1/2-year low. The benchmark was

in the red for the seventh time in eight sessions.

The city-state's top lender DBS Group declined 1.1

percent while United Overseas Bank slipped 0.6

percent.

Philippine shares were down for a third day, hurt by

declines in industrials and real estate stocks. The index is

poised to post its biggest weekly fall in over two months.

Index heavyweights SM Investments Corp and Ayala

Corp fell 2 percent and 1.5 percent, respectively.

Malaysian stocks were largely unchanged as losses in

consumer staples and industrial stocks offset gains in telecom

and healthcare.

Blue-chip SIME Darby Plantation was the biggest

drag on the benchmark, falling 1.5 percent, while Genting Bhd

rose 1 percent.

Malaysian July industrial production data is expected later

on Friday.

Thai shares fell as energy stocks declined. Oil and

gas producer PTT slipped 0.5 percent.

Meanwhile, the Jakarta index rose marginally, helped

by consumer stocks. Unilever Indonesia rose 3 percent,

while diversified conglomerate Astra International

rose almost 3 percent.

An index of the country's 45 most liquid stocks

was slightly lower.
