                    [Summary] => 


Share prices were barely changed yesterday as investors waited for stock prices to stabilize after last week’s swings.


The benchmark 30-company Philippine Stock Exchange Index dropped 2.07 points, or 0.07 percent, at 3,039.31, adding to Monday’s 0.7 percent loss.


"This is a market where most institutional investors are on the sidelines," said AB Capital Securities Research Director Jose Vistan.


He said cautious investors wanted to see the prices stabilize before returning to the market.
