ADR Report-Foreign stocks fall on data; Q2 best in a decade

NEW YORK, June 30 (Reuters) - U.S.-listed shares of foreign companies fell on Tuesday as investors cooled expectations about an economic recovery after data showed a surprisomg slide in consumer confidence, even as ADRs closed their best quarter in almost a decade.

The Conference Board's measure of U.S. consumer confidence slid in June after a sharp rise in May, and hurt recovery expectations as consumer spending accounts for two-thirds of the U.S. economy.

The Bank of New York Mellon index of leading American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) .BKADR fell 1.1 percent, while the Dow Jones industrial average .DJI down 1 percent and the U.S. benchmark S&P 500 index .SPX off 0.9 percent.

For the second quarter, the ADR index jumped 24.6 percent, its best quarterly performance since the 28.3 percent rise during the fourth quarter of 1999.

The Bank of New York Mellon index of leading Asian ADRs .BKAS lost 1.2 percent. Bellwether China Mobile Ltd (CHL.N) and PetroChina Co (PTR.N) slid, with China Mobile's ADRs down 2.3 percent at $50.08 and PetroChina's U.S.-listed stock down 3.1 percent at $110.48.

The Bank of New York Mellon index of leading European ADRs .BKEUR fell 1 percent, with ADRs of Deutsche bank (DB.N), down 2.6 percent at $61, among the top drags. The FTSEurofirst 300 .FTEU3 index of top shares fell 1.1 percent, weighed down by banks and energy companies.

The bank's index of Latin American ADRs .BKLA shed 0.9 percent in the session, with Peruvian miner Buenaventura (BVN.N) among the biggest losers, down 4.1 percent at $24.03.
