“The local bourse’s downtrend persisted, settling below the key 6,500 level. This, as the government announced the possibility of stricter lockdown measures should the cases continue to rise, and as the COVID-19 death toll breached 15,000 yesterday,” said Regina Capital Development Corporation Managing Director Luis Limlingan.
Philstocks Financial Senior Analyst Japhet Tantiangco said “The local bourse extended its decline as our COVID-19 situation continued to weigh on investor confidence. This comes as our daily additional Coronavirus cases remain elevated, in turn, clouding our economic outlook.”
