MANILA – – Both the Philippine peso and the Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi)\u00a0 displayed a stiff stance on Monday.<\/p>\n

The local currency finished the week\u2019s first trading day up by 16 centavos to 50.79\u00a0 against the US dollar from 50.95 close Friday last week.<\/p>\n

This improvement did not show when the currency trading opened for the day since the local unit started the trade at 50.88 from 50.80 in the previous session.<\/p>\n

Volume for the day amounted to USD577.10 million, lower than the USD719.6 million in the previous auction.<\/p>\n

PSEi gained 0.13 percent, or 10.90 points, to 8,321.98 points.<\/p>\n

It was, however, a mix among the other indices, with the broader All Shares ending on the red after it declined by 0.04 percent, or 2.07 points, to 4,871.75 points.<\/p>\n

The sectors that also dropped during the day include the Services, 0.81 percent; Industrial, 0.52 percent; and Property, 0.03 percent.<\/p>\n
