The Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) ended the trading session on Monday, July 6, with a modest uptick, buoyed by bargain hunting in select heavyweight stocks, according to data from BusinessWorld.

Gainers among PSEi members included conglomerates and property firms, while some banking and industrial stocks weighed on the index. Analysts attributed the mixed performance to profit-taking after recent rallies and cautious sentiment ahead of key economic releases later in the week.

Trading volume was moderate, reflecting selective participation. Investors are now watching for corporate earnings reports and monetary policy signals that could shape market direction in the coming days.
