SE Asia Stocks-Track Wall St lower; Indonesia at near 3-wk low

* Financials, industrials weigh on Singapore index

* Indonesia, Malaysia head for 4th straight session of loss

By Sumeet Gaikwad

April 25 (Reuters) - Most Southeast Asian stock markets fell

on Wednesday following an overnight drop in U.S. equities as

investors pulled out of riskier assets after treasury yields hit

a four-year high.

U.S. stocks saw their worst day in two-and-a-half weeks,

with the Dow Jones Industrial Average extending losses for a

fifth day after U.S. treasury yields crossed the 3 percent mark.

In Southeast Asia, Singapore stocks fell to their

lowest in a week, shedding 0.6 percent, as financials and

industrials weighed.

Keppel Corporation slipped 3 percent while lender

DBS Group Holdings shed 0.8 percent.

"The near 2 percent decline in Dow has spilled over

into Singapore," said an analyst who did not wish to be named.

Indonesian shares were headed for a fourth straight

session of loss as financials and consumer staples fell.

Unilever Indonesia, down as much as 4 percent, was the

biggest loser on the index.

The country's index of 45 most liquid stocks was

down 1.4 percent.

Malaysian stocks fell 0.7 percent as financials

weighed while energy stocks dragged Thailand 0.3 percent

lower.

Philippine shares were trading flat as losses in

industrial stocks offset gains in financial and real estate

stocks.

Bank of the Philippine Islands gained 1.6 percent

while International Container Terminal Services plunged

over 4 percent to its lowest in over one year.

Vietnam was closed for a holiday.
