SE Asia Stocks -Rangebound on soft China data, lower crude oil prices

Nov 14 (Reuters) - Most Southeast Asian stock markets were

trading rangebound on Friday following fresh signs of slowing

Chinese growth, with lower crude oil prices dragging down energy

shares across the region.

Vietnam's benchmark VN Index extended its two-day

falling streak as investors sold stocks following recent gains.

The index fell 0.6 percent by 0709 GMT, underperforming peers in

the region.

Thailand's SET index was steady, Indonesia's Jakarta

Composite Index edged down 0.1 percent, and Malaysia's

main index was down 0.3 percent after official data

showed the country's economy grew at its slowest pace this year

during the third quarter.

U.S. crude was down 0.75 percent at $73.64 a barrel

at 0652 GMT to a new four-year low, a day after suffering a 3.9

percent slump amid oversupply.

Concern over a slowing Chinese economy, the second largest

in the world, also weighed on sentiment, as factory growth in

October dipped and investment growth hit a near 13-year low.

In Singapore, industrial conglomerate Keppel Corp Ltd

and Sembcorp Industries Ltd fell 1.4 percent

and 1.7 percent respectively on falling oil as concerns loomed

over possible adverse impact on their offshore arms.

Thailand's top oil firm PTT and PTT Exploration and

Production lost 0.5 percent and 1.4 percent

respectively, weighing down the overall index, although

financials cushioned the fall.

Bucking the trend, Singapore and Philippines

were up 0.2 percent and 0.3 percent, respectively.
