Philippine stocks climbed sharply on Monday, January 12, as investors returned to the market with renewed confidence, pushing the benchmark index higher across most sectors.
As of 3:00 p.m., the Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) surged 71.82 points, or 1.13 percent, to 6,419.96, marking one of its stronger sessions in recent weeks. The broader All Shares Index also advanced, gaining 0.95 percent to close at 3,641.13.
Sectoral indices largely ended in positive territory, with Mining and Oil posting the biggest gain of the day. The sector jumped 5.01 percent, buoyed by renewed interest in resource stocks. Financials followed with a 2.14 percent rise, while Property climbed 1.88 percent, reflecting improving sentiment toward banks and real estate firms.
Industrials edged up 0.81 percent, while Holding Firms added 0.70 percent. The Services sector posted a more modest increase of 0.33 percent, but still contributed to the market’s overall upward momentum.
Market watchers noted that broad-based buying helped lift the index, with investors selectively picking up shares across key sectors. The strong showing from Mining and Oil stocks provided an extra boost, helping offset earlier market caution.
With most indices closing higher, the session reflected growing optimism among investors as they position themselves for upcoming economic and corporate developments.
