[Title] => Stocks seen to trade sideways
[Summary] =>
The stock market is expected to trade sideways this week albeit on a negative bias considering that most stocks have already achieved overbought levels, analysts said.
Some analysts, however, were quick to point out that the market may benefit from a potential follow-through buying, encouraged by the move of fiscal authorities to upgrade economic growth forecasts for the year and hints that a credit rating upgrade is in the offing.

[Title] => Market seen moving sideways this week
[Summary] => Share prices are expected to trade sideways this week after sharp swings in the previous week, dealers said.
"I think the market will probably move sideways. It will not likely go down substantially as we have already discounted geopolitical and interest rates concerns," said Jose Vistan of AB Capital Securities.
He expects the main index to trade between 2,150 points and 2,250.

[Title] => Investors to get cue from ME situation, corporate profits

[Title] => Trading to remain tempered — analysts
[Summary] => The stock market managed to break out from a five-day skid on Friday but analysts expect trading this week to remain tempered as suggested by thinning volume of turnover.
"The market mercifully experienced a moment of recovery after a five long declining sessions. With the Phisix down collectively by 66.43 points in the skid, bargain hunters finally stepped up for a 13.48-pt. index rise. But despite being up broadly, holiday induced turnovers continued to dwindle to just P323 million," a website report by RCBC Securities noted.

[Title] => Bargain hunters seen taking over stock market this
[Summary] => The stock market may continue to pull off a rally this week as bargain hunters take centerstage, but analysts remain wary of its sustainability as the "dark clouds" of external concerns and foreign-led selling still hang over the market.
"The market may continue to drift aimlessly as it alternates between light buying and selling. Again, sustainability of any trend remains suspect as investors will have difficulty making up their minds on this type of market," AB Capital Securities research head Jose Vistan Jr. wrote at the investment website PhilStocks.net.

[Title] => 7 groups vie for right to sell government stake in Meralco
[Summary] => Five foreign investment banks and two local groups have expressed interest in underwriting the sale of the government’s 10-percent stake in Manila Electric Co. (Meralco).
Finance Secretary Jose Isidro Camacho said they have downscaled the proceeds forecast from P7 billion to P4 billion although he did not say why. Market watchers said the power distributor’s stock, along with other blue chips, have gone down because of the generally lackluster performance of the stock market.

[Title] => Lack of fresh news, political uncertainties seen to keep stocks in consolidation mode
[Summary] => The market will continue to move within a limited range this week as the lack of fresh news coupled with the political uncertainties will likely keep investors on the sidelines again, analysts said.
Week-on-week, the Phisix closed lower at 1,647 points from 1,689.91, although a late buying spree last Friday helped put a halt to the steady downtrend.
After four sessions of decline, bargain hunting on select issues helped push the market slightly higher although total turnover was significantly lower at an average of P536 million throughout the week.
