GDP data in focus as investors look for catalysts

ANXIOUS INVESTORS hungry for positive catalysts are pinning their hopes on a favorable Philippine economic growth print and signs of a slowdown in interest rate hikes in the United States to dispel the pall of gloom that has descended on the local market this year.

The global sell-off has dragged the bellwether Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) to “bear” territory and its lowest level in two years, as investors continued to dump risky assets amid growth concerns led by China and a relentless slump in crude oil prices.

The 30-company PSEi sank 3.74% for the week to close at 6,208.05 on Friday, extending its drop for the third week in a row.

“At this point, the bearish propositions still fill investors with fear and apprehension. Reasons to stay off the market with a sensitive finger poised at the ‘sell’ button remain the norm,” Justino B. Calaycay, equity analyst at Philstocks Financial, Inc., said in a research note.

As the selling pressure remains for Philippine equities, it will be crucial for the benchmark index to stay above the key support line of 6,000, a breach of which can pull down the local barometer to the 5,400 to 5,900 levels, said Luis A. Limlingan, business development head at Regina Capital Development Corp.

“Provided 6,000 holds, we expect rallies from the index this week as oversold readings from two weeks ago has already started to lighten. However, these rallies are temporary due to highly bearish technicals — no significant reversal signals were spotted so recovery could only extend to 6,300, with a max recovery of 6,585 (or the 20-day moving average),” Mr. Limlingan said.

This week, all eyes will be on the release of the Philippine gross domestic product (GDP) data and the policy meetings of the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan, analysts said, and investors are hoping these events will give them something to cheer about.

“With the country still considered as one of the fastest-growing economies in the region, better-than-expected results could douse off part of the pessimism, but there are no clear signals in place yet to cap the global volatility overhang,” online brokerage 2TradeAsia.com said in a research note.

Investors will also carefully watch the Fed for hints of slowing the path of interest rate hikes amid the turbulence in markets worldwide. The US central bank started raising borrow costs from historic lows last month — the first rate increase in nearly a decade.

“The key point of interest will be on the timing of the next interest rate hike. Any consideration to delay might be lauded and could encourage slight bargain hunting,” 2TradeAsia.com said.

An advance reading of fourth-quarter US GDP will likewise be out this week, with estimates geared towards a 0.8% growth, according to a Reuters report.
