Local equities dip as investors pocket gains

Posted on July 27, 2016

PHILIPPINE stocks dipped on Tuesday as investors pocketed gains, a day after President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s first State of the Nation Address.

The benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange slipped 0.31% or 24.59 points to close at 8,024.54, while the broader all-shares index declined 0.61% or 29.12 points to 4,777.86.

“It’s mainly profit taking since market is trading near historic levels and current valuations may not be justified at this point given lack of catalysts,” Unicapital Securities, Inc. research head Lexter A. Azurin said in a phone interview.

Mr. Azurin added that investors may be liquidating at this point ahead of “ghost month,” referring to August.

According to Chinese belief, ghosts roam the earth every August, making it inauspicious for business.

Luis A. Limlingan, managing director at Regina Capital Development Corporation, noted based on 2016 levels, the market is currently trading at around 20 times its price-earnings ratio. Price-earnings ratio is a valuation tool that measures how much an investor pays for every peso in earnings per share a stock generates.

“Although that’s because there is confidence in growing economy,” he said in a phone interview.

Holding firms saw the biggest losses, declining by 1.17% or 93.08 points to 7,885.01 followed by mining and oil which fell 0.82% or 92.11 points to 11,082.38 and property which dipped 0.33% or 12.21 points to 3,651.95.

Services advanced 0.39% or 6.40 points to 1,656.12; industrial increased 0.25% or 30.38 points to 12,138.82; and financials climbed 0.06% or 1.05 points to 1,820.10.

Decliners outnumbered advancers, 71 to 130, while 53 names were unchanged.

Foreigners were net buyers with purchases reaching P1.22 billion, significantly bigger than the P633.95 million at Monday’s close.

Value turnover reached P9.3 billion, lower than P10.18 billion booked on Monday, as 2.09 billion shares changed hands.

Meanwhile, Southeast Asian stock markets were cautious on Tuesday as investors steered away from risky assets ahead of central bank meetings in the United States and Japan.

The US Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates steady on Wednesday, but traders will be closely parsing its statement for clues on policy direction.

“Investors are on a wait-and-see mode right now, ahead of the Fed meeting,” said Mikey Macanaig, an analyst with Sunsecurities Inc.

“We don’t know what the impact of Brexit is and it’ll be a big risk for the U.S. to hike interest rates so soon.”

Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan is expected to ease policy later this month, according to a majority of economists polled by Reuters, who said a combination of measures would be used in another attempt to boost anaemic inflation.

“Japan is in a risky situation right now, but we definitely are expecting some sort of an economic easing in Japan,” said Mr. Macanaig. — JCL with Reuters
