PHILIPPINES

Mart settled slightly down @7,647. Sellers seized the local bourse’s climb previously, pulling the PSEi to an intra-day low of 7,606. From its 22-point gain in early trades, gauges closed 5 notches lower at close, to 7,647 (-0.07%). Gains in industrials (+0.7%) & holdings (+0.4%) were offset by financials (-0.6%) & property (-0.5%).

Sideways, up. Sessions might start sideways, possibly with slight upward bias, as participants turn their attention to local headlines. Crude futures’ descent could provide the boost, given Saudi Arabia & Russia’s hint to relax supply restrictions while volume might thin with the US’ long weekend holiday. The market will also digest upcoming float, that includes BTr’s P30bn retail treasury bonds. Continue to trade a range. Immediate support is 7,630, resistance 7,700-7,720.
