The Philippine Stock Exchange Index (PSEi) started the week on a sour note, closing lower on October 22, 2025, as investors continued to take profits amid cautious market sentiment.
The benchmark index fell by 62.66 points, or 1.03 percent, to end the day at 6,030.87, reflecting a broad decline across most sectors.
Market activity showed total trades amounting to PHP 10.8 billion, with 57 gainers, 150 losers, and 48 unchanged issues — a clear sign that sellers dominated the day’s session.
Foreign investors also contributed to the market’s weakness, recording net foreign selling of ₱104.43 million, as foreign buying reached ₱2.08 billion against ₱2.18 billion in foreign selling.
Analysts said the market’s decline mirrors ongoing global uncertainties, with investors closely watching economic data releases and geopolitical developments abroad.
Despite the dip, traders remain hopeful that bargain hunting and positive third-quarter earnings reports could help the local bourse regain momentum in the coming days.
