Share prices climb; URC, Ayala Land top advances

The stock market rose again Friday on select buying and prospects of a slower inflation growth after oil prices seem to have tapered down.

The Philippine Stock Exchange Index added 39.23 points, or 0.6 percent, to 6,863.86 on a value turnover of P5.1 billion. Gainers beat losers, 113 to 80, with 49 issues unchanged.

Major property developer Ayala Land Inc. of the Ayala Group climbed 3.3 percent to P29.55, while Universal Robina Corp. of the Gokongwei Group, the biggest snack food maker, advanced 1.6 percent to P127.

Solar Philippines Nueva Ecija Corp., however, fell 2.3 percent to P1.69, while Security Bank Corp., the eighth-largest lender in terms of assets, dropped 2.1 percent to P90.50.

The rest of Asian markets drifted on Friday as investors tried to assess the Federal Reserve’s plans for lifting interest rates to fight inflation, with mixed data and differing opinions by bank officials providing little clarity.

A two-month rally from June lows appears to have run out of steam this week, with downward pressure coming after minutes from the Fed’s most recent meeting showed it was determined to keep lifting borrowing costs until prices were brought under control.

The gains have come in the face of a number of problems that have caused unease on trading floors, including China-US tensions, the Ukraine war, supply chain snarls and extreme weather across much of the northern hemisphere.

A statement by policymakers and comments from Fed boss Jerome Powell after last month’s board meeting suggested they could be considering slowing the pace of rate hikes as the economy slows.

That was followed by a drop in inflation, which lifted markets, but was followed by several officials reasserting the need to continue to tighten monetary policy to get inflation down from four-decade highs.

This week’s minutes and comments from a number of Fed top brass reinforced that view, with some pouring cold water on hopes for possible rate cuts in the new year.

All eyes are now on next week’s central bankers’ symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where finance chiefs and central bankers will speak, with all attention on the utterances of Powell.

“We don’t see how the Fed can pivot when they haven’t achieved anything pretty much,” said Marco Pirondini, of Amundi US. “The market will have to become more realistic on this.”

Still, Wall Street’s three main indexes edged up after Wednesday’s losses.

But Asian traders moved a little more cautiously.

Hong Kong, Taipei, Sydney and Jakarta inched higher, while Shanghai, Singapore, Seoul, Wellington, Mumbai and Bangkok all fell. 

The prospect of tighter US monetary policy for an extended period lifted the dollar back up to multi-year highs against its peers.

And OANDA’s Edward Moya warned that markets would remain wobbly for a while.

“Stocks will most likely struggle for direction for the rest of the summer as Wall Street is still uncertain with how aggressive the Fed will be in September,” he said in a note.
