“Philippine shares were sold off ahead of the long weekend as investors worried that overtightening from central banks worldwide could force the economy into a downturn,” said Regina Capital Development Corporation Managing Director Luis Limlingan. He added that, “On the local data front, the Philippines’ 11-month budget gap got trimmed by 7.2 percent year-on-year to P1.24 trillion on higher tax and non-tax collections during the reference period.”
Philstocks Financial Assistant Research Manager Claire Alviar said “The local bourse took some gains on the last trading day of the week. Negative cues from Wall Street also weighed on sentiment amid recession fears.” She noted that, “Many investors were seen on the sidelines amid weak market participation ahead of the long weekend.”
