SE Asia Stocks-Thai shares, Malaysia lag as weak oil prices hurt

BANGKOK, Nov 28 (Reuters) - The Thai stock index fell on

Friday as energy shares declined after a sharp fall in global

crude prices while Malaysian shares extended losses amid a fall

in the ringgit and concerns over lower oil.

Bangkok's SET index finished down 0.4 percent,

reversing from a two-month closing high hit in the previous

session. It posted a modest gain of 0.6 percent on the month,

among the region's underperformers.

Shares of PTT Exploration and Production dropped

5.2 percent, their biggest single-day loss since January, as

declining oil prices dented its earnings outlook.

Kuala Lumpur's composite index fell for a second

day, down 0.5 percent to its lowest close since Nov. 21, with

shares of Tenaga Nasional, down 0.3 percent, among

those actively traded. The index slipped 1.9 percent on the

month.

The ringgit fell to a near five-year low on Friday

as offshore funds dumped the currency on fears lower oil prices

may hurt Malaysia, a net oil exporter and major palm oil

producer.

Singapore outperformed the region, with the key Straits

Times Index up 0.3 percent, ending the month 2.3

percent higher. Shares of Singapore Airlines jumped

2.6 percent thanks to expectations of a fall in fuel costs.
