Pullback possible as market waits for new leads

BULLS AND BEARS will be locked in a tug of war after scaling new highs for the year, with volumes expected to be light ahead of the Holy Week break.

The benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) rallied 2.93% for the week to close at 7,306.74, its best finish since Oct. 27, 2015, after the United States Federal Reserve signaled a more gradual rise in rates this year than previously thought at the close of its two-day policy meeting,

The Fed held interest rates steady on Wednesday and indicated that moderate US economic growth and “strong job gains” would allow it to tighten policy this year, with fresh projections showing policy makers expected two quarter-point hikes by the year’s end, half the number seen in December.

“The market is quite strong right now. Some foreign funds are entering the market again. We might still go higher, but we are a bit on the high side. As we get closer to the Holy Week, buying might slow down,” Miko A. Sayo, trader at Angping and Associates, said in a telephone interview.

Financial markets will be open for only three days before shutting down in observance of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.

For the first time this year, foreign investors were in buying territory on a year-to-date basis, BPI Asset Management said in a research note. Net foreign purchases for the year stood at P1.95 billion, according to data from the local bourse.

The bellwether PSEi has seen a major reversal from a brutal start, now up 5.1% on a year-to-date basis after plummeting by as much as 12.45% to 6,084.28 on Jan. 21 and staying in “bear” territory for more than two weeks.

The US central bank’s dovish stance left the door open for more money to flow into risky assets like equities and may prompt capital seeking higher returns to move to emerging markets like the Philippines.

“The concern before was funds will shift from the emerging markets back to the developed economies, but since the pace of rate increases may not be as fast as the original target, in a way, this eases the shift from emerging economies to the developed markets,” Lexter A. Azurin, head of research at Unicapital Securities, Inc., said in a telephone interview.

Though local equities remain bullish, range pullbacks are needed to sustain a healthy trend with key support range plotted at the 6,890 to 7,100 band, Luis A. Limlingan, business development head at Regina Capital Development Corp., said via text.

“Looking at price action the past week, PSEi’s down day on March 16 may hint at better things to come. On that day, the index tested its 200-day moving average (MA) as support around the 7,085 level. The PSEi closed above the 200-day MA afterward, signifying a major shift in mood among players,” online brokerage 2TradeAsia.com said in a report. — with Reuters
