Confidence remains low amid a mixed set of second quarter corporate earnings, new tariff threats from the US, and uncertainties regarding the local economic outlook,\u201d stated Philstocks Financial Inc. Research Manager Japhet Louis O. Tantiangco in a Viber message.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">For this week, the market might remain in a range as investors await new catalysts, as noted by AP Securities, Inc. Research Head Alfred Benjamin R. Garcia in a Viber message.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cWe anticipate that the market will continue trading largely sideways with a slight downward tendency. Investors seem likely to maintain a cautious stance while observing how the peso performs following the rate decrease,\u201d Mr. Garcia mentioned. \u201cPotential market influences include manufacturing and services PMI (purchasing managers\u2019 index) data from the US and the Philippine inflation report scheduled for Friday.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Last week, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) reduced benchmark interest rates by 25 basis points (bp) for the third consecutive meeting, bringing the policy rate to 5%, as anticipated by all 20 analysts surveyed in a <i>BusinessWorld<\/i> poll.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Since initiating its rate-cut cycle in August 2024, it has now decreased borrowing costs by a total of 150 bps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">BSP Governor Eli M. Remolona, Jr. remarked that the key rate is now positioned at the \u201cideal level\u201d regarding inflation and output.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Nonetheless, he has not ruled out the possibility of one additional rate cut this year, which would likely signify the conclusion of its current monetary easing phase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cThe local market might rebound due to bargain hunting. The ruling by the US\u2019 Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit that many of President Donald J. Trump\u2019s tariffs are unlawful may provide a market boost&#8230; Investors are likely to look forward to the upcoming S&amp;P Global Philippines Manufacturing PMI and the inflation rate for August for insights into the local economy,\u201d Mr. Tantiangco noted. He set the PSEi\u2019s key support at 6,150 and key resistance at 6,400.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">\u201cWith the local easing cycle thought to be approaching its end, attention shifts to the next broader theme, particularly as we navigate the concluding months of 2025,\u201d online brokerage 2TradeAsia.com remarked in a market note. \u201cThe emphasis should transition from beta-driven rallies in rate-sensitive sectors to more aggressive but higher-quality narratives, at least temporarily.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">2TradeAsia.com identified the PSEi\u2019s immediate support at 6,200 and resistance at 6,500. \u2014 <b>Sheldeen Joy Talavera<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bworldonline.com\/stock-market\/2025\/08\/31\/694740\/shares-to-trade-with-bearish-bias-before-key-data\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;`html PHILIPPINE STOCKS may exhibit sideways movement this week with a pessimistic tilt as the market is expected to remain wary ahead of significant economic reports both locally and in the United States.
