The 30-company Philippine Stock Exchange Index fell by 119.60 points, or 1.9 percent, to close at 6,178.60 on October 5, 2023.

The local stock barometer sank by more than 100 points Thursday after the Philippine Statistics Authority reported that inflation rate picked up to a four-month high in September.

“The unexpectedly high September inflation print poured cold water on investor sentiment and sank the index to its slowest in over a week,” China Banking Corp. managing director Juan Paolo Colet said.
