MANILA — Philippine stocks delivered a strong finish on Monday as the benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) surged back above the 6,000 level, buoyed by broad-based buying ahead of the year-end trading stretch.
The PSEi closed at 6,041.26, jumping 120.39 points or 2.03 percent, marking one of its strongest single-day gains in recent weeks.
Market participation also picked up, with total value turnover reaching PHP 8.2 billion. Market breadth was firmly positive, as 130 stocks advanced, while 69 declined and 57 issues were unchanged, reflecting renewed optimism among investors.
Despite the rally, foreign investors remained net sellers. Foreign buying amounted to PHP 3.84 billion, while foreign selling totaled PHP 4.81 billion, resulting in net foreign selling of PHP 975.15 million. Analysts noted that the index’s rise was largely driven by local investors selectively accumulating shares.
The upbeat performance suggests growing confidence in the market as investors position for potential catalysts heading into the new year, with sentiment supported by bargain hunting and expectations of improved economic conditions.
The PSEi’s move above the 6,000 mark is seen as a positive technical and psychological milestone, setting the tone for the final trading days of 2025.
