SE Asia Stocks-Thailand, Indonesia fall to 3-week lows; S&P lifts Vietnam

BANGKOK, Aug 29 (Reuters) - Shares in Thailand and Indonesia

fell to three-week lows on Wednesday amid a broad sell-off in

large cap stocks while Singapore and Malaysia ended nearly flat

as investors cut back on risk ahead of a speech by the U.S.

Federal Reserve chairman.

The main Thai index close down 1.05 percent at

1,220.16, the lowest close since Aug. 10. Jakarta's Composite

Index slipped 1.2 percent to 4,093.17, the lowest close

since Aug. 8.

Bucking the trend, Vietnamese shares snapped a two-day

losing streak after Standard & Poor's said the problem at a

Vietnamese bank was not contagious.

The Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange's VN Index gained 1.9

percent, regaining some of the 3.5 percent loss of the previous

two sessions. It suffered 7.9 percent drop last week as the

arrests of Asia Commercial Bank's top executives

worried investors of spreading banking risks.
