SE Asia Stocks-Weaker despite inflows; Manila off from record high

Jan 31 (Reuters) - Most Southeast Asian stock markets
retreated on Thursday despite strong foreign inflows, snapping a
six-day gaining streak with the Philippines falling from a
record high amid concerns over the global economy on the
surprise contraction in the U.S. economy in the fourth quarter.
The Philippine Composite Index fell 0.5 percent to
6242.74 from a record high, Thailand pulled back 1.1 percent to
1474.20 from a more-than 18-year high, and Singapore's Straits
Times Index lost 0.1 percent to 3282.66 from a 15-month
high.
Malaysia and Indonesia ended flat, while
Vietnam, the region's best performing market this year,
fell 1.6 percent to 479.79 from its near nine-month high on
profit-taking pressure.
But foreign inflows poured into the region with Malaysia
receiving $62.60 million, Manila and Jakarta witnessing $47.1
million net foreign buying each on Thursday.
