PSEi hardly changed in slow trade

/ 12:14 AM April 23, 2016

Local stocks ended flat Friday as a regional downturn and an overnight selloff in Wall Street prompted profit-taking among investors.

The main-share Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) shed 2.46 points or 0.03 percent to close at 7,255.39. Across the region, most stock markets slipped on disappointing earnings from US blue-chip companies.

Overnight, the closely tracked Dow Jones Industrial index fell 113.75 points or 0.63 percent.

The day’s decline was led by the mining/oil counter, which slumped by 1.12 percent, while the industrial and property counters also slipped. On the other hand, the financial and holding firm counters firmed up.
