REVIEW & OUTLOOK:

THE MAIN INDEX fell by its biggest percentage margin in nearly 10 weeks as
local investors were spooked by heavy foreign selling right off the bat. The
PSEI dropped to as much as -94 points before buying activity near the close
erased a significant part of the losses, yet still 63 points short of the the
previous day's level at 4,197.57.

The Index breezed through a number of support levels without, as the cliché
goes, “breaking a sweat.” Sustaining its close under 4,270, the composite of
30-companies ignored “catch-levels” at 4,250, 4,230 and the 4,200-
psychological line, raising questions of a possible terminal move for the
barely-two year old bull.

Magnifying the results in the local market were mixed closes by its Asia
Pacific peers. Major markets Hang Seng, Shanghai, and Bombay were all in
the red. Save for Bangkok, which joined Manila with a half-percentage point
slump, the rest of the ASEAN 6 gained. Earlier, the OECD was Philippine
GDP trailing the group for this year and the next.

The night prior, US stocks fell as the dollar strengthened and metal
prices fell. The Dow Industrials traded in positive territory briefly in
morning trades before drawing a generally downward path the rest
of the way. The two-day slide however fails to substantially alter a 2-
and-a-half month uptrend. Sentiments remain mixed on the pace
of the broad economy's recovery. The Dow settled at 11,346.75 at
the bell, -0.53% below Monday's close. The broader S&P500 gave up
-0.781% while the Nasdaq values were squeezed -0.66 percent.

European markets, on the other hand, gained Tuesday, behind


strong corporate earnings. The Paris bourse led the majors
percentage-wise, climbing 0.82% to 3,945.71. London's FTSE 100
and Frankfurt's DAX 50 both rose by 0.43% and 0.55%, respectively.
The continent was at the forefront of the prior day's decline in world
markets, particularly in Asia, as concerns on its members' sovereign
debt situations resurfaced.

As this is being written however, both Europe and US markets are


deep in negative territory. This despite positive figures from the US
labor front showing initial jobless claims fell to the lowest level in
four months.

There was much attention to foreign funds activity yesterday.


Nevertheless, the over-all picture remains almost unchanged.
Although the last four sessions have aggregated net foreign sales
worth php1.18B, the year-to-date position still stands at php56.327B.
Furthermore, while this segment of the market aggressively sold the
Holding Firms, Service and Mining & Oil sectors, they have, on-

balance over the same four days, increased positions in Financial and Property counters – at least this is what the numbers tell us. They
were on the sell side in all four days with respect to Holding Firms and three days in Mining & Oil. Note however, that isolating their
near-panic inducing trades, positive positions were actually taken in Financial, Property, Service and Mining & Oil issues. The table
below shows their net activities over the last four sessions, based on figures culled from the daily quotation reports: (in million php)

Noticeably, the sectors that showed net foreign buying or the least 500,000.00
foreign selling over the last four sessions, registered the least 400,000.00
percentage losses. Furthermore, a good number of stocks actually 300,000.00

as the day was progressing. In fact, as even the table above will (500,000.00)

decline wiped off just 7.6% of the total advance. This remains far from the 20% level chartists are concerned with as a prospective
reversal point to mark the end of the present bull. Given present index levels, this key reversal point, a break suggesting a terminal
move, lies at the 3,870-line. (see chart below)

OUTLOOK

ALL things considered, the market may have acted “irrationally”


during yesterday's session.

THE country's macroeconomic indicators remain positive.


Inflation is contained at 4%, well within the government's targets.
Remittances are at record-levels, lending stability to the local
currency, albeit raising some worries from the export sector and
OFW families, the principal beneficiaries of these inward flow of
dollars. Gross international reserves are likewise at never-before-
reached levels. And despite the OECD's outlook placing the
country's GDP growth at the tailend of the ASEAN Six,a 6% pace
is nothing to sneeze at. In a certain respect, this is a deja vu of the
post Asian Financial Crisis of 1997-98 when the country held up
against the contagion but registered slower growth pace among
its peers during the recovery period. Real interest rates range
between marginal negative to a low positive, which make equities
an attractive wealth creation vehicle. On the other hand, the low interest rate regime is a boon to business expansions and capital
investments as well as to a certain degree, for firms seeking to ease their debt burdens. The peso continues to gain strength versus the
dollar.

The socio-political front is stable. Aside from the recent travel advisories on account of a supposed terror threat, there have been no
immediate threats of upheavals that may create uncertainties in the business and investment environs.

On a micro-level, earnings have been generally impressive. In the least sense, reported results have met expectations, save for a couple
that provided some disappointment. Four major companies that reported earnings in recent briefings all showed double-digt growths in
their bottomlines and further expressed optimism over their full-year profits. MWC and ALI both reported 30% increases in net profits
Tuesday. Yesterday, MPI and VLL showed positive numbers.

From a technical standpoint, the four-day slide which squeezed 4.5% off equity values, may be ripe for a technical rebound. Adding
confidence to this outlook was yesterday's late surge towards the close. That may be evidence enough that buyers have begun to step in as
the index fell under 4,200. We may expect a technical rebound with the index returning above the 4,200-line, possibly testing the 4,230-
initial upper limit. Immediate support is at 4,130-4,150 range. Residual negative sentiment, carried over from the four-day slide, may
temper any surge past the 1.0% mark with profit-taking. Hunting for long-term bargains will provide the counter-balance.
