Lower November inflation boosts PSEi
The Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) reversed its decline, rising by 1.05 percent to close at 5,949.22, on positive investor sentiment following the release of better-than-expected November inflation data.
Investors welcomed the inflation figures, viewing them as a significant factor for the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas' (BSP) upcoming monetary policy decision.
The slower-than-expected inflation in November supports expectations for a potential 25-basis-point rate cut by the BSP Monetary Board.
Sectoral performance was mixed, with services experiencing a notable surge while holding firms saw a decline.
The total turnover value decreased to P5.8 billion compared to the previous day's P6.54 billion.
