                    [Summary] => Market sentiment remains positive this week given the new composition of the Philippine Composite Index and the continuing decline in world crude oil prices, which has led to the roll back of local gasoline prices.


The Philippine Stock Exchange changed the composition of the index to take out illiquid stocks in order to reflect the real movement of the market.

Our reason: the Philippines has turned around and is already on the path towards a sustainable fiscal and economic recovery. For us and for investors looking to profit in the markets, what’s more important is the recognition of that turning point, the path towards recovery.

"This initiative forms part of our campaign to build awareness on the stock market to acclimatize and motivate existing and potential market participants through increased knowledge and understanding," Lim said.

[Summary] => After hitting record highs in September, emerging market equities around the world suffered huge losses as investors fear that they are becoming dangerously overpriced. Emerging market countries in Eastern Europe, Latin America and North Asia were among the worst hit. Russia, for example, declined 13.4 percent while Turkey is down 12.2 percent from their recent highs. The major reason is a global inflation scare which investors fear could prompt the US Fed to raise rates more aggressively.
