You know the trade war impacts sentiment which is really I think crucial for our market. I think in terms of the economy, obviously, we are shielded from that.

It is currently trading at around 16 times forward earnings, near the market\u2019s 10-year average.<\/p>\n<p>He was optimistic the PSEi would end the year at 8,150 level assuming the market would gain from rallies next month.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the positive prospects for next year, Narvaez said volatility is still to be expected due to the US-China trade war.<\/p>\n<p>To counter adverse consequences, investors are advised to focus on stocks that offer growth on value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0The stock brokerage arm of Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) is bullish the Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) will &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":235246,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-238464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","mauthors-leslie-gatpolintan","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238464"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238464\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":281368,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238464\/revisions\/281368"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
