“Philippine equities took a breather as investors await economic data releases,” said Regina Capital Development Corporation Managing Director Luis Limlingan. He added that, “On Thursday morning , weekly jobless claims and wholesale inventories are due. Tomorrow , the April unemployment rate and trade balance are scheduled to be released.”
