Oct 26 (Reuters) - Most Southeast Asian stock markets

dropped on Friday, tracking broader Asia as fears over cooling

global growth and trade tensions hit investor confidence, while

Philippine shares rebounded after three losing sessions.

Singapore shares fell 1.4 percent to a 21-month

closing low, as Asian shares ex-Japan dropped to

their lowest since February 2017 and S&P E-mini futures

slumped in Asian trading on Friday.

The city-state's lender United Overseas Bank Limited

closed 3.5 percent lower, while casino operator

Genting Singapore Ltd dropped 2.8 percent.

Singapore shares dropped 3 percent this week, their fourth

straight week of losses.

Thai shares fell 0.9 percent in the session,

deepening the week's losses to 2.3 percent and marking their

fourth losing week.

The index was dragged down by energy stocks such as oil and

gas producer PTT PCL, which shed 2 percent, and PTT

Exploration and Production PCL, which lost 1.5

percent.

Oil prices fell on Friday and were on track for a third

weekly loss, as Saudi Arabia warned of rising inventories amid a

slump in global markets and trade that dampens the outlook for

fuel demand.

Malaysian stocks extended their losses to a seventh

straight session, as mobile communications provider Digi.Com

Berhad fell 1.7 percent and marine port operator MISC

Berhad gave up 2.3 percent. The index dropped 2.8

percent on the week.

Vietnam closed 1 percent down, wrapping up its fourth

consecutive losing week, with weekly losses ballooning to 6

percent.

Real-estate stocks weighed down the market the most in the

session, with Vinhomes Joint Stock Company losing 5.1

percent and No Va Land Investment Group Corp shedding

1.9 percent.

Philippine stocks gained 1.4 percent in the session,

clawing back some of the week's earlier losses, as investors

snapped up beaten down stocks as valuations turned attractive.

However, the index still recorded a weekly loss of 1.2 percent.

Conglomerate SM Investments Corp added 4.1 percent

in the session while San Miguel Corp edged up 2.9

percent.

Indonesian shares closed 0.5 percent higher, but

still ended the week with a 0.9 percent drop.

PT Bank Central Asia Tbk gained 3.1 percent in the

session and telecom operator PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk

gained 2.3 percent.
