PSEi closes lower

/ 12:55 AM September 23, 2014

The Philippines stock barometer closed slightly lower on Monday after a chopping trade in the aftermath of a long weekend break and inclement weather that again flooded many parts of Metro Manila.

The main-share Philippine Stock Exchange index declined by 7.43 points or 0.1 percent to close at 7,279.86. Across the region, trading was mostly sluggish due to jitters on China’s economic growth.

The market was weighed down by the financial, services, mining/oil and property counters while the industrial and holding firm counter firmed up.
