Southeast Asian stocks mostly down

Most Southeast Asian markets fell on Friday after disappointing US data stirred doubts about the strength of its economic recovery, and on renewed concerns over the eurozone debt crisis. Singapore ended 0.5 percent lower, falling from a two-week high in thin trade, while Malaysia fell 0.3 percent to a three-week low despite $14.19 million of inflows.
The Philippines and Vietnam fell 0.3 percent each. Bucking the trend, Thailand gained 0.8 percent to its highest since April 4, led by information and technology shares. Indonesia rose 0.4 percent to its highest since April 3, with $16.7 million of inflows. Trade was heavy, with top lender Bank Mandiri gaining 1.4 percent.
