MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) closed higher on February 9, 2026, gaining 40.21 points or 0.63% to finish at 6,431.12, as most sectors posted modest advances and mining stocks delivered strong gains.
Market data as of 2:05:44 PM showed a generally positive trading session, with the broader All Shares Index rising 0.40% to 3,598.74, reflecting cautious but steady investor confidence across sectors.
Among industry groups, Mining and Oil led the rally, surging 4.61% or 784.18 points to 17,790.24, significantly outperforming the rest of the market. Analysts often view sharp moves in the sector as linked to global commodity price trends and renewed investor appetite for resource stocks.
Holding Firms followed with a 1.39% increase to 5,139.43, while Property stocks gained 1.29% to 2,229.06, suggesting renewed interest in conglomerates and real estate plays. The Industrial sector also moved higher, rising 0.74% to 9,134.43, contributing to the overall market’s upward momentum.
Meanwhile, Financials edged up 0.16% to 2,141.32, reflecting relatively stable movement among banks and financial institutions. The Services sector was the lone decliner, slipping 0.08% to 2,653.28, showing slight profit-taking among select consumer and telecommunications names.
Overall, the market’s modest climb indicates a cautiously optimistic trading environment, with investors selectively buying into sectors showing growth potential while remaining mindful of broader economic signals.
Traders are expected to continue monitoring global market cues, commodity movements, and local economic developments in the coming sessions as the PSEi attempts to maintain its upward momentum.
