Mart pauses to correct, PSEi @7,725: After briefly touching an intra-day high of 7,815, profit-takers seized on the bourse’s recent advance, pulling gauges lower. The PSEi scored 91 points down at 7,725 (01.2%) led by financials (-2%) & holdings (-1.5%). Property (+0.4%) limited the descent. BDO (-P5.50 at P129.50); JFC (-P10 at P270); & SM (-P20.50 at P958.50) fell among actively-traded shares. Turnover slowed to P4.96bn, with gainers-losers at 99-103. Net foreign selling stood at P112mn.
Weighing the odds: Participants will weigh the market’s response to July’s higher-thanexpected inflation, including chances for rate adjustments in BSP’s Thursday policy meeting. Note also that select large caps are slated to provide 1H guidance, comprising majority of PSEi basket. Chances for the bourse to make a follow-through breather appears likely, as investors heed for margin improvement guidance for 2H18. Consider good inflation hedges. Non-index shares may continue to take notice, as well as other stocks with solid stories to unfold. Immediate support is 7,650, resistance 7,750.
