Philippine stocks were trading higher as of 2:29 p.m. on January 27, 2026, with the benchmark PSE Index (PSEi) climbing back above the 6,300 level on broad-based gains across most sectors.
The PSEi rose by 50.97 points, or 0.81 percent, to 6,324.84, reflecting renewed optimism among investors. The broader All Shares index also ended in positive territory, inching up 0.17 percent to 3,586.65.
Holding Firms led the rally, jumping 1.60 percent to 5,100.23, as investors continued to position themselves in diversified companies seen as resilient amid market uncertainty. The Services sector followed closely, gaining 1.35 percent to 2,535.45, while Industrial stocks edged up 0.16 percent to 8,980.83.
Property shares posted modest gains, rising 0.11 percent to 2,269.04, suggesting selective buying in real estate names. Financials, however, slipped 0.31 percent to 2,115.86, as investors took profits after recent advances.
The biggest drag on the market came from Mining and Oil, which fell sharply by 2.09 percent to 18,411.89, weighed down by weaker commodity prices and cautious sentiment in the sector.
Overall, the market’s upward move points to a cautiously positive tone, with investors favoring holding firms and service-oriented stocks while remaining selective in sectors exposed to global price swings.
