As of 2:57 PM, the Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) fell by 26.89 points, or 0.42 percent, to close at 6,437.78. The broader All Shares index also slipped, down 0.22 percent to 3,644.20.
The Financials sector led the market’s decline, dropping 1.22 percent to 2,163.87, reflecting cautious positioning among investors. Holding Firms followed, losing 0.66 percent to 5,125.18, while Mining and Oil shares slid 0.68 percent to 17,197.38, dragged by weaker commodity-related sentiment.

On the upside, a few sectors managed to post gains. The Services index rose 0.55 percent to 2,550.09, providing modest support to the market. The Industrial sector also inched up 0.01 percent to 9,160.32, finishing nearly flat.
Overall, trading reflected a mixed mood, with investors remaining selective amid sector-specific pressures and limited catalysts to drive a broader rally.
Market participants are expected to continue monitoring corporate developments and economic signals for direction in the coming sessions.
