Weekly Summary and Outlook

The PSEi rallied this week, gaining 137.61 points (+2.1% W/W) and closing at

6,792.06. The index nearly reversed its losses this year after hitting a high of 6,848.87

following the rebound in the US and other emerging markets alongside the rally in

crude oil. Both Brent and WTI Crude returned above $30 per barrel after Saudi Arabia,

Russia, Qatar, and Venezuela agreed to freeze oil production midweek. Top index

gainers were PCOR (+20.4%), FGEN (+19.3%), and EDC (+12.1%). Meanwhile, top

index losers were SMC (-2.3%), URC (-2.0%), and AEV (-1.0%). The index breadth

was positive, with 25 gainers outnumbering 5 losers. Average daily value turnover

reached P6.5Bn, excluding block sales. Foreigners were NET SELLERS by P1.2Bn.

On next week’s open, expect emerging markets to react to the January US CPI data (-

0.1% M/M est. & -0.1% M/M in December; +0.7% Y/Y in December) which will be

released tonight. Further uncertainty in oil prices may continue amidst OPEC talks.

Expect investors to pay close attention to the weekly EIA Petroleum Status Report

(crude oil inventories +2.1M barrels last week) to be announced on Wednesday night.

The release of Japan’s January CPI data (-0.1% M/M; +0.2% Y/Y) on Friday morning

next week might also affect markets worldwide. The Bank of Japan continues to

monitor price changes for its next policy meeting following its adoption of negative

interest rates previously.

*Local markets will be closed on Thursday (February 25) for the People Power

Anniversary celebration.*
