Stocks close lower as investors eye Fed decision

STOCKS RETREATED from four-month highs, as investors turned cautious before the US Federal Reserve issues its decision on monetary policy after its two-day meeting.

The benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) lost 82.87 points or 1.15% to close at 7,065.39 yesterday, also the session’s low.

The all-shares index shed 34.75 points or 0.84% to finish at 4,089.25.

“US stocks closed a bit lower because they are waiting for the Fed decision. We are just taking money off the table since we’ve been climbing so people are selling a bit because they are not totally convinced of this rally,” Luis A. Limlingan, business development head at Regina Capital Development Corp. said in a telephone interview.

Prior to Wednesday’s fall, the PSEi has accumulated gains of 255.57 points or 3.7% over six days, initially pushed by a rally in world oil prices and domestic corporate earnings, including two successive intraday breaches of the 7,200 line.

The Fed is seen keeping interest rates unchanged at the close of its policy meeting amid lingering fears about the state of the global economy and signs of continued improvement in the US economy.

Fresh forecasts from the Fed’s 17 officials released after the meeting ends on Wednesday will likely signal three or possibly two rate hikes this year, a slower path of rate hikes than the four 2016 rate hikes envisioned in December, the last time forecasts were published.

“The pause the local market took at mid-week is seen as a healthy rest for prices that have moved strongly north over the last several days. Indeed, some room will have to be made and given to profit-taking as the index builds more momentum to break past 7,200,” Justino B. Calaycay, Jr., head of marketing and research at A&A Securities, Inc., said in a client note released yesterday.

The shift to selling mode could be attributed to the upcoming shortened trading week as the country observes Lent, Mr. Calaycay said.

Financials was the lone sub-index in the green with a gain of 8.98 points or 0.57% to 1,584.14.

In contrast, property dropped 66.10 points or 2.26% to 2,854.92; mining and oil slid 164.30 points or 1.44% to 11,246.06; industrial slipped 127.69 points or 1.10% to 11,470.96; holding firms declined 74.47 points or 1.07% to 6,882.48; and services went down 13.41 points or 0.88% to 1,502.23.

Value turnover eased to P6.78 billion after 1.92 billion shares changed hands, from Tuesday’s P8.29 billion. Losers beat gainers, 121 to 73, while 30 issues closed flat. Net foreign buying eased to P168.97 million from the P934.97 million seen the previous session.

“We’ll probably test support at 7,000 depending on the outcome of the Fed meeting,” Regina Capital’s Mr. Limlingan said. — with Reuters
