August 17, 2017

The broader all-shares index likewise rose 0.45% or 21.36 points to 4,751.09.
“Amid the silence on geopolitical concerns, we finally saw [first-half] earnings results drive the market,” RCBC Securities analyst Jeffrey Lucero said in a text message yesterday.
The market’s most actively traded stock was Jollibee Foods Corp. (JFC), which gained P14 or 6.22% to close at P239 apiece. “Jollibee, which reported 14% earnings growth earlier this week, accounted for a significant part of the market’s gains,” Mr. Lucero added.

“Philippine stocks traded higher despite a dull market coupled with low volume and a lack of conviction,” Regina Capital Development Corp. Managing Director Luis A. Limlingan said.
“US stocks struggled for gains on Tuesday as investors scaled back buying after two straight sessions of advances amid better-than-expected retail sales and abatement of tensions between the United States and North Korea,” Mr. Limlingan said.
