Worries over global economy to weigh on mart

THE BENCHMARK Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) has shown some signs of life in the previous weeks after a rocky start this year, but analysts warned that the equities market may need more than optimism to trigger a reversal.

The previous week saw the bellwether PSEi peak at 6,848.87, but Friday’s decline cut its weekly gain to 137.61 points or 2.07% to end at 6,792.06 — sliding below the 6,800 mark.

“The previous week managed to lift optimism in local equities, at least for the short term. However, any notion this rally could reverse January’s pessimism is far from convincing,” 2TradeAsia.com said in a report.

The brokerage noted that when local stocks were plunging last month towards the 6,200 level, net foreign buying reached P2.6 billion followed by purchases amounting to P500 million the following week. The past two weeks, however, showed net sales of P2.8 billion.

“We expect markets to trade sideways with a slightly upward bias as the somewhat positive sentiment carries over into next week though caution on global growth prospects may limit gains,” BPI Asset Management said.

Enthusiasm may not be enough for the local barometer to breach the robust long-term resistance at 6,800, suggesting gains may be capped over the short-run, 2TradeAsia.com said. Long-term support, however, is plotted at 6,200, providing a buying window for bargain hunters.

“The market requires additional impetus to sustain the momentum it was starting to build as it makes a bid to breach the 6,850 mark. With the end of February fast approaching, attention should begin to shift away from externalities for the moment as focus on fourth-quarter earnings,” Justino B. Calaycay, Jr., head of marketing and research at A and A Securities, Inc., said in a report.

The bellwether index has arrested its year-to-date slide to 2.3% from 12.48% at the peak of the market’s bloodbath, but the PSEi’s valuation remains elevated at 19.67 times price-to-earnings ratio — twice the regional benchmark, Mr. Calaycay said.

“Stocks are still at pricey, thus, putting a lot of import on the coming cycle to find justification for the rich valuations relative to our peers in the region. Profits should rise by about 7%-10% in order to bring the multiples closer to the bull market norm,” he said.

The stronger-than-expected remittances data, which came out after trading hours last Friday, may boost risk appetite, but firming US inflation, which may affect the Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rates, may trigger bearish sentiment, analysts said.

“We would also be on the lookout for positive developments in the ongoing talks among oil producers in hammering out a scheme to stem the, until recently, unabated drop in the commodity’s prices,” Mr. Calaycay said.
