PSE Weekly Stock Market Update (Sept. 17-21)

James Ryan Jonas

The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) applauded the decision of the US Federal Reserve to cut its benchmark interest rate by half a percentage point, soaring to 3,423.73 at the end of the trading week, up by almost 4% week-on-week.

Analysts, however, cautioned investors over some volatility this week. BPITrade sees the market extending correction this week, with investors remaining in the sidelines while waiting for 3Q results. 2TradeAsia also sees some profit-taking and expects the Philippine bourse to track markets abroad.  

Week-to-week and Year-to-Date (YTD, i.e., beginning of the year until this week) performances of the Philippine equity sectors are as follows:

(Legend:) Market Sector : Week's Closing ; 1-Week Change ; YTD change

  • PSEi : 3,423.73 ; 3.92% ; 14.79%
  • All Shares Index : 2,143.53 ;  2.72% ; 15.22%
  • Financial Sector : 893.05 ; 2.81% ; 8.53%
