The main Philippine stock index, PSEi, closed at 5,887.58 on December 4, 2025 — dropping 18.26 points (0.31 %) amid broad market weakness.
Market activity saw a total trading value of roughly PHP 6.5 billion, with 81 gainers, 100 decliners, and 71 unchanged issues.
Foreign investors turned net sellers, unloading Php 3.36 billion, while buying only Php 2.39 billion, resulting in a net foreign outflow of about Php 967.0 million — a key factor behind the downward pressure on the index.
Traders noted that the sell-off came even as some domestic investors held onto their positions. One market watcher described the mood as “cautious,” with many waiting on upcoming economic data before reengaging.
Still, analysts say the dip may be temporary — especially if foreign flows return or upbeat corporate results emerge. The market’s under-6,000 level could also be seen by some as a buying opportunity, depending on confidence returning.
