フィリピン株式市場動向

PHILIPPINES

Follow-through buying maintained, PSEi @7,721. Participants took their cue from Wall Street’s overnight climb, following the correction in 10-year US TBond yield below 3%. PSEi jumped 103 points at 7,721 (+1.4%) with day-on-day momentum improving (from P4.9bn to P6.2bn), while market breadth favored optimists, 124-69. Holdings (+2.7%) & industrials (+1.2%) led gainers, as AC (+P30 at P960); MPI (+P0.25 at P4.82); & SM (+P23.50 at P910) rose. URC also advanced (+P0.70 at P138.30), as well as NOW (+P0.04 at P8.06).

Direction is up. Prospective silver lining for a credit rating upgrade for the Philippines & North as well as South Korea’s commitment to work for a nuclear-free peninsula are catalysts that will support buying initiatives Monday. The other variable to watch would be on momentum that will support an ascent, to push back gauges back to the 8,000 mark. Immediate support is 7,720, resistance 7,900-7,950.

ASIA

Green across boards. Asian shares enjoyed gains Friday following pullback of US treasury yields, as geopolitical tension in the region loosened amidst Nokor-Sokor summit.

WALL STREET

US equities mixed. US economic growth slowed in 1Q (+2.3% from 4Q17 +2.9%) due to weak consumer spending, but wages were up at their fastest in 11 years that added to inflation fears. Tech & energy shares were weaker, while consumer shares were up. DJIA -11 points, 24,311 (-0.05%), Nasdaq Comp. +1pt, 7,119 (+0.02%). NoKor & SoKor agreed for a nuclear-free peninsula. North & South Korea pledged to work for complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula. Both will work with the US & China this year to declare an official end to the 1950s Korean war & set a permanent peace accord.

COMMODITIES

Oil settled lower. Oil prices slipped slightly lower as rig count data revealed 5 more rigs for the week, although the decline was capped by market expectations that U.S. will abandon Iran nuclear deal. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) slid by $0.13 to $68.06/barrel.
