Local stocks recovered from the previous session’s losses while the peso posted a strong comeback against the US dollar.

Philippine financial markets ended Thursday, June 25, 2026, on a positive note as both the stock market and the peso rebounded from recent declines, offering positive results after several sessions of weakness.

The Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) climbed 79.69 points, or 1.33%, to close at 6,071.06, recovering the 6,000 level just a day after falling below it. The gain reversed part of the previous session’s losses and lifted the index away from the low levels seen earlier this month, although market volatility remains evident.

Peso recovers

The Philippine peso also posted a strong recovery, strengthening by more than 26 centavos to close at ₱61.29 against the US dollar. The gain snapped a three-day losing streak that had pushed the local currency to some of its weakest levels in recent weeks.

During the session, the peso reached an intraday high of ₱61.60 before settling at its closing rate. The latest finish brought the currency closer to the ₱61 mark again after several days of depreciation.

Thursday’s performance reflected improvement across local financial markets, with equities regaining lost ground and the peso recovering from recent pressure. While both remain below their stronger levels seen earlier in the year, the day’s gains provided a much-needed break from the weakness that characterized much of the week’s trading.
