The markets see mixed results as stock index rallies but peso drops.
Philippine financial markets moved in opposite directions on Monday, July 6, 2026, with the Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) posting its longest winning streak in a month while the peso weakened after two straight days of gains.
The PSEi rose 35.96 points, or 0.58%, to close at 6,223.99, extending its rally to four consecutive trading sessions.
The latest gain built on last week’s momentum, pointing to sustained investor interest as the market continues to recover from recent economic pressures.
