* Jakarta extends gains in late trade

* Vietnam bucks the trend, weighed down by blue chips

By Tyagita Silka

JAKARTA, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Major Southeast Asian stock
markets ended up on Friday, rebounding from a three-day sell
off as investors responded to positive earnings from U.S. and
Asian companies.

Indonesia's index .JKSE ended 1.43 percent higher, with
coal miner Adaro Energy (ADRO.JK) jumping 6.58 percent, helped
by a recommendation from Goldman Sachs, while top automotive
distributor Astra International (ASII.JK) rose 4.15 percent.

The Jakarta market, which rebounded from falls earlier this
week, saw gains accelerate in the last few minutes of trade.

Singapore .FTSTI rose 1.2 percent, helped by a 3.6
percent gain in commodities firm Noble Group (NOBG.SI), which
has just completed a $2.4 billion three-tranche financing, the
largest syndicated loan in Asia ex-Australia so far this year.

Noble said on Friday that coal sales at its subsidiary
Gloucester Coal Ltd rose 5 percent in its latest quarter,
showing signs of recovery.

"Sentiment is good, in view of the fact that it's better
corporate earnings for many of the major companies," said
Gabriel Yap, Senior Dealing Director, of DMG Securities in
Singapore.

"Of course with a better positioning in the U.S. market,
because the futures are up, things are looking good," he added.

Stock index futures pointed to a slightly higher open for
Wall Street on Friday, as investors awaited results from
software giant Microsoft (MSFT.O) and data on home sales.

At 0857 GMT, futures for the Dow Jones DJc1, S&P 500
SPc1 and Nasdaq NDc1 were between 0.1 to 0.3 percent
higher.

Manila's main stock index .PSI added 1.53 percent,
boosted by a 4.24 percent increase in mall-to banking group SM
Investments Corp (SM.PS) and geothermal energy producer Energy
Development Corp (EDC.PS), which gained 2.56 percent.

Vietnam .VNI bucked the firmer regional trend by falling
1.35 percent, weighed down by confectionary maker Kinh Do Corp
KDC.HM, which lost 5 percent, and dairy firm Vinamilk
VNM.HM, shedding 0.58 percent.

In Malaysia, the main index .KLSE ended up 0.56 percent,
with conglomerate Sime Darby (SIME.KL) up 2.37 percent and CIMB
Group (CIMB.KL) up 1.43 percent.

Bangkok's market .SETI was closed for a holiday on
Friday. It closed down 1.06 percent at 708.76 points on
Thursday.
