The Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) ended Tuesday’s session on a positive note, climbing 48.88 points, or 0.78 percent, to close at 6,355.78 on January 28, 2026.
Trading was relatively active, with total market value reaching PHP 7.5 billion, as investors selectively picked up shares despite a mixed market breadth. Advancing stocks slightly lagged decliners, with 102 gainers versus 106 losers, while 54 issues ended unchanged.
Foreign investors were a clear bright spot for the day. Foreign buying amounted to PHP 3.78 billion, outpacing foreign selling of PHP 3.32 billion, resulting in a net foreign buying position of PHP 463.37 million. The inflow helped support the market’s upward move and signaled renewed overseas interest in local equities.
Market watchers noted that while gains were modest, the return of net foreign buying could provide short-term support for the index as investors continue to assess global cues and domestic economic prospects.
