Philippine stocks traded mixed today, with the benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) slipping as losses in property and holding firms weighed on the broader market.
As of 2:27 p.m. on February 4, 2026, the PSEi fell by 18.76 points, or 0.29 percent, to 6,383.20. Despite the decline in the main index, several sectoral indices posted gains, reflecting selective buying among investors.
The All Shares index edged up by 0.15 percent to 3,553.66, supported by strength in financial and industrial stocks. The Financials sector rose by 0.68 percent, while Industrials climbed 0.85 percent, emerging as one of the market’s stronger performers.
Mining and Oil stocks led the advancers, jumping 1.42 percent, as the sector gained more than 243 points. The move points to continued investor interest in commodity-related shares.
Meanwhile, Property stocks pulled the market lower, sliding 1.15 percent. Holding Firms also declined by 0.87 percent, while the Services sector dropped 0.62 percent, adding to the market’s overall weakness.
Overall, trading today reflected a cautious tone, with investors weighing gains in select sectors against broader market pressures as they looked for clearer signals in the sessions ahead.
