Philippine stocks ended the week on a positive note as investors pushed the benchmark index higher during Friday’s trading session.
The Philippine Stock Exchange Index (PSEi) climbed 26.45 points, or 0.45 percent, to close at 5,938.38 on June 5, 2026.
Trading activity remained steady, with total value turnover reaching PHP 7.2 billion. Market breadth also favored gainers, as 97 stocks advanced compared to 84 decliners, while 55 issues finished unchanged.
Despite the market’s upward move, foreign investors remained net sellers. Foreign buying amounted to PHP 4.23 billion, while foreign selling reached PHP 4.33 billion, resulting in net foreign selling of PHP 103.73 million.
The day’s performance suggests that local investors continued to support the market, helping offset the impact of foreign outflows. The advance also brought the PSEi closer to the 5,940 level as traders monitored economic developments and corporate news heading into the next trading week.
