Philippine stocks closed lower on Tuesday, January 20, as selling pressure dragged most sectors down, despite gains in mining and services stocks.
The benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) fell by 84.92 points, or 1.32 percent, to close at 6,352.86. The broader All Shares index also declined, dropping 1.03 percent to 3,606.81 as of 2:54 p.m.
Losses were led by the property sector, which slid 2.68 percent, followed by holding firms, down 1.88 percent, and financials, which retreated 1.73 percent. Industrial stocks also weakened, falling 1.18 percent, while most major counters traded in negative territory.
On the brighter side, the services sector managed to post gains, climbing 0.73 percent, while mining and oil stocks rose 0.33 percent, helping temper overall market losses.
Market watchers noted that investors remained cautious amid lingering uncertainties, prompting profit-taking across key sectors. Trading activity suggested a defensive stance, with selective buying focused on resource-linked and service-oriented stocks.
The market’s performance reflects continued volatility as investors weigh economic signals and global developments in the days ahead.
