The Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) registered a modest gain to close the week in positive territory, despite the absence of new market-moving catalysts, according to Philstar Biz.
The marginal uptick came amid subdued trading as investors waited for clearer economic signals. No major corporate or economic announcements drove sentiment during the session.
Market participants are likely to remain cautious in the near term, with analysts suggesting the index may trade within a narrow range until fresh leads emerge.
