PHILIPPINES

PSEi advances, closed 7,577. After moving to as much as 7,615, local equities ended 44 points higher at 7,577 (+0.6%), as some buyers picked-up on property (+2%) & industrial shares (+0.5%).

Traction on momentum gauge. Momentum watchers will be on a close watch, on the gradual resumption of risk appetite for equities. Most will check the possibility for gauges to trump past 7,650, or better. Thus far, encouraging 1Q18 results have firedup optimism on prospects for succeeding quarters this year, despite uncertainties on the local central bank’s policy move tomorrow & Wall Street’s relatively muted reaction to the US’ withdrawal from the 2015 accord with Iran. Hunt for good trading windows. Immediate support is 7,550, resistance 7,650-7,670.

ASIA
