After gaining 0.09 percent and 0.04 percent, respectively, the Property, Mining, and Oil indexes drifted sideways, while the Industrial index fell 0.09 percent.

A total of 1.1 billion shares worth PHP3.87 billion were traded.

At 87 to 83, advancers outnumbered decliners, with 51 shares remaining unchanged.

“Markets were discreetly bought up in (a) low value turn-over environment, with few catalysts and most prepping for yearend window dressing,” said Luis Limlingan, head of sales at Regina Capital Development Corporation (RCDC).

Meanwhile, the local currency fell to 50.23 at the end of the day, down from 50.04 on Friday.

It began trading at 50.05 and fluctuated between 50.26 and 50.05.
