Philippine shares retreated on Tuesday, with the Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) falling 0.6% or 38.08 points to close at 6,296.64, according to BusinessWorld.
The decline was attributed to traders locking in gains after the market’s sharp jump in the previous session, while continued uncertainty over peace talks between the United States and Iran kept sentiment cautious.
The broader market also ended lower, reflecting the cautious mood. Analysts said investor focus remains on geopolitical developments and possible follow-through buying after the recent advance.
