Stocks in Asia and Southeast Asia ended lower on Monday. (AP photo)Southeast Asian stock markets ended lower on Monday in line with regional peers as risks of faster US inflation and wider budget deficits sent Treasury yields higher, a painful mix for assets in many emerging markets. The decline was led by telecom services and financial stocks, though they recovered slightly from their plunge earlier in the day. Philippine shares fell 1.5% to their lowest in eight months, led by financials and telecom stocks.
