PSEi hits 4-month high amid US-China tariff truce, peaceful elections

The Philippine Stock Exchange Index (PSEi) reached a four-month high, closing at 6,566.82 points, an increase of 1.68% or 108.62 points.

This surge was attributed to investor optimism following a 90-day tariff truce between the United States and China, which reduced duties on goods exchanged between the two economic giants.

The Philippine midterm elections also contributed to the positive market sentiment, as the general outcome was peaceful.

Analysts suggest that the sustainability of this market rally will depend on upcoming economic data, including first-quarter corporate earnings and US inflation figures.
