MANILA \u2013 The Philippine peso finished Thursday almost unchanged against the USD, partly due to the negative close of the Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) a day after posting another record-high level.<\/p>\n

The local unit finished the day at 51.01 from the previous session’s\u00a0 51.00 close, which a trader attributed to wait-and-see stance ahead of the release of non-farm payrolls report in the US on Friday.<\/p>\n

It opened the day at 51.07, sideways against the 51 a day ago.<\/p>\n

It traded between 51.08 and 50.96, resulting in an average of\u00a0 51.018 for the day.<\/p>\n

Volume reached USD794.7 million, up from the USD761.75 million a day ago.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the main equities gauge shed 0.60 percent, or 50.04 points, to 8,294.01 points a day after hitting another record-high of 8,344.05 points.<\/p>\n

A trader said profit-taking is the main reason for the drop of the PSEi after its strong climb in the past days.<\/p>\n

The broader All Shares index fell 0.47 percent, or 23.19 points, to 4,884,65 points.<\/p>\n

Most of the sector tracked the main index with Mining and Oil leading the pack after a 2.19 percent drop; followed by the Holding Firms, 0.95 percent; Property, 0.64 percent; and Industrial, 0.10 percent.<\/p>\n

Services rose by 0.26 percent and Financials by 0.009 percent.<\/p>\n

Volume for the day reached 1.25 billion shares amounting to PHP6.76 billion.<\/p>\n

Losers led gainers at 106 to 90 while 50 shares were unchanged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
