REFILE-SE Asia Stocks-Most fall as coronavirus death toll climbs, investors book profits

(Corrects spelling of coronavirus in headline) * Indonesia leads fall, down over 3% * Vietnam up for sixth session By Arundhati Dutta April 8 (Reuters) - Most Southeast Asian stock markets closed lower on Wednesday as a mounting death toll from the global coronavirus outbreak prompted investors to book profits after sharp gains earlier this week. The United States posted a record single-day jump of more than 1,800 coronavirus deaths, while France has officially registered more than 10,000 fatalities so far. The day's losses halted a rally in equities over the past two sessions on early optimism that the virus could be peaking. A fall in energy stocks pushed the Thai benchmark 0.8% lower on Wednesday, with PTT Pcl and PTT Exploration and Production Pcl falling at least 4% each. Leading losses in the region, Indonesian equities slumped 3.2%, with financials weighing on the benchmark index. PT Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk and PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk both fell 7%. Beginning Friday, Indonesia's capital Jakarta will impose large-scale social restrictions including closures of schools and workplaces to curb the spread of the coronavirus in the hardest hit area of the country. Singaporean stocks shed 1.3%, with big cap conglomerates Jardine Matheson Holdings Ltd falling 3.8% and Jardine Strategic Holdings Ltd slipping 1.5%. The Malaysian index fell 0.6%, dragged lower by power utility Tenaga Nasional, down 2%. Philippine equities ended 2.5% lower. On the upside, Vietnamese shares recovered from early losses and posted a sixth straight session of gains.
