The Philippine stock market ended Tuesday in negative territory as investor sentiment weakened, pulling the benchmark PSEi back below the 6,000 level.
The local index closed at 5,963.24, down 46.14 points or 0.77 percent, reflecting cautious trading activity amid continued foreign selling pressure.
Market participation remained active, with total value turnover reaching PHP 5.0 billion. However, decliners outnumbered advancers, with 117 stocks falling compared to 77 gainers, while 53 issues ended unchanged.
Foreign investors continued to dominate market activity, with foreign selling amounting to PHP 2.75 billion, exceeding foreign buying worth PHP 1.93 billion. This resulted in a net foreign selling position of over PHP 820 million for the trading day.
The decline erased the market’s previous momentum after the index briefly reclaimed the 6,000 mark earlier this week. Investors remained watchful of both global market movements and local economic developments, which continue to influence trading sentiment.
Despite the pullback, analysts noted that trading volume remained relatively healthy, suggesting that investors are still actively positioning themselves amid market uncertainty.
The Philippine stock market has recently experienced fluctuating sessions as traders balance optimism over economic recovery with concerns surrounding foreign fund outflows and broader global market conditions.
