PSEi dips on growth worries, weak Wall Street cues

The Philippine Stock Exchange Index (PSEi) fell 0.38% or 22.46 points to 5,756.66, while the broader all-share index dropped 1.5% or 49.25 points to 3,231.55.

"The local market's sideways movement ended in negative territory as it gave in to selling pressures," Japhet Louis Tantiangco, research manager at Philstocks Financial, said via Viber. "Investors digested Finance Secretary-turnedExecutive Secretary Ralph Recto's projection for 2025 GDP (gross domestic product) growth of 4.7-4.8%."

"The lingering corruption issues amid the latest developments also weighed on sentiment," he added.
