What is happening to the PSE Stock Market?

The benchmark policy rate of the Philippine central bank increased by 50 basis points to 4.25% last week. Rates for overnight deposit and lending facilities also increased by 50 basis points to 3.75% and 4.75%, respectively.

Moreover additional news that the rate interests tigthening will continue again by November is sending shocks to the market.

The peso is slumping and could not keep up with the strong dollar, it closed several times to 59 pesos and based from the technical analysis, price action may tough 60 pesos in the short term. It is good that the peso conversion from overseas money to local people but the benefits could not materialize as inflation keeps prices very high.

Current PSEI RSI level have been oversold for the past few days and now is at RSI 21 already.
