PSEi edges higher to end volatile week as peso holds steady at ₱61.29

PH shares extended their recovery above the 6,000 level while the peso closed unchanged against the US dollar.

The Philippine financial markets ended the week on a steadier note, with the benchmark stock index posting a slight gain while the peso held its ground against the US dollar following recent volatility.

The Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) inched up by 1.18 points, or 0.02%, to close at 6,072.24 on Friday, June 26, 2026. The modest increase capped a turbulent week that saw the benchmark briefly slip below the 6,000 mark.

The index continued its recovery from Wednesday’s low of 5,991.37, extending its climb back above the 6,000 level. Despite the improvement, the market has yet to establish consistent momentum, suggesting investors remain cautious after recent swings.

Calmer end for the week for the peso

Meanwhile, the Philippine peso closed at ₱61.29 against the US dollar, unchanged from the previous trading day.

The local currency touched an intraday low of ₱61.20 before settling flat, continuing to stabilize after snapping its three-day losing streak earlier this week.

The mixed performance across the country’s equity and foreign exchange markets shows a calmer end to the trading week, although investors continue to watch for stronger signals that could sustain the recent recovery.
