Eyes are set whether the PSEi would continue its recent strength, or sellers might seize on this move to pocket gains.

Sentiment might take its cue from Wall Street’s ascent, as expectations build for consideration of less-restrictive monetary policies by the Fed for the remainder this year.

Market participants would heed to latest inflation for June (vs. May’s 3.9%), with BSP’s outlook pegged at 3.7% to 4.5%.

The market might take its cue from Wall Street’s ascent, with very few macro leads available locally.

Reinforced support from the BSP for the likelihood of August’s rate cut may support sentiment for local equities.
