Looking at this week’s unfolding trading results, however, it looks like the unfortunate incident in the Ayungin Shoal did not leave any permanent negative impact

in reality.” This saying is what comes to my mind when I try to compare the condition of our country’s relationships with China before the Spanish period at the same time brand them this time around.

In fact, the PSEi has fallen down to 6,433.10 or by as much as 16.94 points or 0.26% below its starting level at the beginning of the year when it ended the month of May. Next, the market made a rebound with all the counters up on the first week of June. It erased the market’s deficit to cross into positive territory by 85.66 points or 1.33%. This effectively brought back the market with a year-to-date gain of 68.70 points or 1.07%.

Market support is estimated to play from 6,160 to 5,950 while market resistance is expected to come in from 6,400 to 6,600.With China presently saddled with many serious political and economic threats inside and out, I believe what it is doing in the WPS is purely a play of brinkmanship.

So, the risk of being left alone in the fight is very real. Resorting to skillful diplomacy is, therefore, our best game plan.
