MANILA, Philippines — The local stock market bounced back strongly after a sluggish start to the week, buoyed by the result of foreign direct investments (FDI) inflow to the Philippines in November and positive cues from Wall Street overnight.

The benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEI) soared by 1.98 percent or 125.44 points, settling at 6,474.60.

The broader All Shares index also advanced by 0.89 percent or 31.63 points to close the session at 3,593.10.

“The PSEi gained for the third day in four trading days after the stronger local FDI data at $897 million in November 2025, the highest in four months or since July 2025,” RCBC chief economist Michael Ricafort said.

Philstocks Financial research manager Japhet Tantiangco, for his part, said the positive cues from Wall Street also helped in yesterday’s climb.

Tantiangco said foreigners were net buyers, with net inflows at P1.01 billion.

All sectors were in the green, led by services, which skyrocketed by 4.4 percent. Financials and holding firms were also strong performers, rising by more than one percent each.

Total value turnover saw an improvement to P6.86 billion from the previous day’s P6.75 billion.

Advancers overpowered decliners, 110 to 90, while 63 stocks did not change hands.

ICTSI remained the session’s top traded stock, surging by 6.35 percent to P670 per share, followed by Jollibee and Ayala which climbed by 1.01 percent and 4.19 percent, respectively, to P200 and P571.50.
