Index returns above 8,000 on stable prospects
Posted on July 20, 2016
STOCKS rose yesterday, with the main index returning to the 8,000 level, amid stable prospects for the Philippine economy following the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) retention of its growth forecasts for the country.
The benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) ticked up by 0.62% or 49.76 points to finish at 8,036.01, successfully returning above the 8,000 mark.
The broader all-shares index likewise increased by 0.48% or 23.54 points to 4,845.98.
“What helped [the increase] was the ADB’s press release stating the 6% growth. [The ADB statement] pushed sentiment given its stable outlook on the economy,” Alexander Adrian O. Tiu, research analyst at A&A Securities, Inc., said in a phone interview.
The multilateral lender kept its 6% growth forecast for the Philippine economy in its Asian Development Outlook Supplement released on Monday, citing the country’s strong 6.9% performance during the first quarter.
Philippine gross domestic product (GDP) is also seen on track to expand by 6.1% in 2017, unchanged from ADB’s March estimate as strong domestic demand is set to stimulate the economy further to offset external headwinds.
Luis A. Limlingan, managing director at Regina Capital Development Corp., said the US markets’ rise also helped boost the PSEi on Tuesday.
“The market is no longer cheap. Analysts are therefore looking forward to the earning season and hopefully we’ll see a lot of companies beating expectations to justify further increase in share prices,” said April Lee-Tan, an analyst with COL Financial Inc. “We’re still enjoying ample liquidity and in general are seeing funds flow into emerging markets and benefitting from that post-Brexit.”
All counters ended in the green yesterday except mining and oil, which went down by 0.37% or 41.71 points to 11,241.39, still weighed down by recent pronouncements by China on its maritime dispute over the South China Sea with several countries in the region, including the Philippines.
Regina Capital’s Mr. Limlingan noted that second-quarter earnings of several companies in the sector also affected sentiment.
In contrast, the holding firms counter posted the largest increase yesterday as it went up by 0.90% or 71.31 points to 7,925.73. Financials rose 0.75% or 13.50 points to 1,809.24; property gained 0.41% or 15.13 points to 3,634.96; services increased 0.27% or 4.65 points to 1,671.18; and industrial climbed 0.25% or 30.19 points to 11,940.71.
Today’s trading will rely heavily on firms’ second-quarter results, which have started trickling in since Monday, an analyst said.
“We’ll have to look at earnings. The earnings growth can affect levels,” Mr. Limlingan said.
