With another very volatile session in WallStreet, the local equities market was very unsure and was directionless. The Philippine Stock Exchange Index (PSEi) moved within a very narrow 20 point range.
PLDT ADRs dropped $0.76 and closed at $68.20 (or below PhP 3010). Yesterday, PLDT traded at PhP 3090 in the PSE.
