Quick takes from around the market

PetroEnergy Resources [PERC 4.68 3.51%] [link] received DOE and DENR approvals for two new solar projects. The Yuchengco Family’s energy arm disclosed that it is nearing a final investment decision on the two projects, pending “closing of on-going discussions with selected contractors and project lender”. This is a family that can move quickly, and is one to watch.
 

Raslag [ASLAG 2.02 1.51%] [link] ended its stabilization period in positive territory. The stab fund was active throughout the period, as ASLAG struggled at times to hold on to its post-IPO gains. The ability of the company’s insiders to perform the same stabilization role will be constrained by ASLAG’s shrinking public ownership percentage.
 

BSP [link] to consider bigger interest rate hikes to tackle inflation. June inflation came in at 6.1%, and the BSP said that inflation will remain “elevated” for “the coming months”. Analysts think that inflation has not yet peaked, and that even if it peaks in October/November of this year, it will remain elevated for the remainder of 2022 and well into 2023. Commodity prices (like oil and wheat) are the main driver of this inflation.
