The Philippine stock market is traditionally strong in December with the usual Santa Claus rally.

- IRIS GONZALES

Analysts said this year may see the usual rally again although it would depend largely on inflation.

"A growing number of investors are piecing together a picture of a potentially good December for stocks. That narrative will be tested this week as the market turns its focus to the Philippine November inflation print and US October jobs data," said Juan Paolo Colet, managing director at China Bank Capital Corp.

Investors are also waiting for inflation to cool down and for the slowdown to be sustained.
