/ 02:05 AM November 15, 2023

MANILA  -The benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) closed flat on Tuesday while trading volume remained muted as investors monitored external developments, including potential indicators leading up to the release of US inflation data overnight.

By the closing bell, the PSEi slipped 0.09 percent, or 5.26 points, to 6,110.88 while the broader All Shares index was down 0.28 percent, or 9.24 points, to 3,286.28.

“Philippine shares closed mixed after Moody’s cut to US outlook, while others were looking ahead to the inflation data this week,” Luis Gerardo Limlingan, head of sales at stock brokerage house Regina Capital Development, said in a note to investors on Tuesday.
