MANILA — Bargain hunting sustained Philippine Stock Exchange index’ (PSEi) rally Thursday and the Peso remained firm amidst geopolitical uncertainties created by US-Russia tensions.

Advancers surpassed decliners at 108 to 94 while 45 shares were unchanged.
Also, the local currency finished the day at 52.03 from 51.94 Wednesday.

With these factors in play, the local currency opened the day at 51.99, sideways from its 51.92 start in the previous day.
It traded between 51.97 and 52.05, bringing the day’s average to 52.01.
Volume reached USD627.2 million, up from the previous session’s USD583.6 million.
On Friday, the peso is forecast to trade between 51.90 and 52.10 to a Greenback.
