[Title] => PSE to introduce separate board for dollar-denominated issues
[Summary] => The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) will introduce before the end of the year a separate board for the trading of dollar-denominated securities, providing a new spin in the country’s stock market trades.
PSE chairperson Vivian Yuchengco said they intend to establish the dollar board by Sept. 16, coinciding with the launching of the "New Exchange," an ambitious roadshow to promote and revive the flagging investor interest in the local bourse.

[Title] => SEC, BSP okay dollar-based trading facility
[Summary] => The capital market’s regulatory agencies have given their go-signal for the launching of a dollar-denominated trading (DDT) facility by the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE).
PSE chief operating officer Jose Cervantes said their proposal to introduce the DDT has been approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
But he said the PSE still has to craft the specific guidelines before it offers the new facility, possibly by the middle of next year.

[Title] => Supreme Court order to prop up market  analysts
[Summary] => With the Supreme Court deciding late last Friday to uphold the legitimacy of the Arroyo administration, the stage has been set for a more buoyant stockmarket trading starting this week, analysts said.
"The overwhelming 13-0 vote by the High Court justices that put an end to the claim of deposed President Estrada that the successor Arroyo government is only on an acting capacity is the main catalyst the market has been waiting for," a trader from a local stockbrokerage firm said.

[Title] => Profit-taking drags down market by 3 points
[Summary] => Stocks reclaimed their gains on Tuesday and slid back in to negative terrain, although packets of window-dressing in select blue chips helped cushion the fall almost on a sideways drift.
The main index narrowed by 3.48 points or 0.24 percent to 1,464.34 yesterday as the market euphoria over the explosive testimony of a top bank executive in President Estrada’s impeachment trial and pent-up demand for stocks due to the Christmas holidays subsided.

[Title] => Index tumbles on political woes, US slowdown

[Title] => Index Closes With Tiny Gain On Gfis’ Bargain Hunting
[Summary] => The market ended yesterday with a modest gain from last-minute bargain hunting in blue chips by government financial institutions, traders said.
The 30-company Philippine Stock Exchange Index rose 0.16 point to 1,488.95, adding in Thursday’s 10.37-point, or 0.7 percent, rise. The index was down by as much as 1.4 percent early in the session.
"We think it’s government buying, probably ahead of the Saturday prayer rally," said Diversified Securities President Jose Ricardo Garcia.

[Summary] => Share prices sloped downwards yesterday as the political brouhaha over jueteng and a looming hike in interest rates kept investors mostly on the sidelines, despite a slight recovery in the peso’s value against the dollar.
The main index lost another 23.27 points or 1.8 percent to finish at 1,271.75. The thin turnover of P569.554 million was dominated by selloffs, with 67 stocks on the losing side compared with 19 advancers and 24 unchanged issues.

After a four-day skid, local stocks picked up appeal anew as investors

The main index avoided plunging below the 1400-mark to eke out a modest one
percent or 14.12 point gain, ending at 1418.79.

[Title] => Stocks slide as investors cash in previous day's gains
[Summary] =>
Local stocks resumed their downtrend after a brief recovery last Wednesday, as
investors quickly cashed in on the previous day's gains following an aggressive
hike in key overnight rates by the Bangko Sentral to counter pressures on the
weakening peso.
The BSP raised its overnight borrowing and lending rates by half a percentage
point each to 9.5 percent and 11.75 percent, respectively, in parallel with the
50-basis point hike in the benchmark US interest rates announced by the Federal
Reserve Board last May 16.
The composite index slid 12.69 points or 0.83 percent to 1,521.
