The Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) managed to inch up on Tuesday, October 15, closing at 6,094.10, up 17.88 points or 0.29%, as investors cautiously picked up select shares amid mixed global market cues.
Despite the modest gain, trading activity remained muted with total turnover reaching ₱7.8 billion, reflecting continued investor caution ahead of key economic data releases.
Market breadth was slightly negative, with 95 gainers, 107 losers, and 56 unchanged issues — showing a still-fragile sentiment among traders.
Foreign investors remained on the selling side, recording ₱4.85 billion in foreign buying against ₱5.09 billion in selling, resulting in a net foreign outflow of ₱233.37 million.
Analysts said the slight uptick suggests that bargain hunters are returning to the market, but many investors continue to stay on the sidelines amid global uncertainties and local inflation concerns.
The broader All Shares index also posted minor gains, reflecting a tentative recovery mood after last week’s pullback.
Traders are now eyeing upcoming U.S. inflation data and local corporate earnings reports, which could set the tone for the market’s next move.
