GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – September 23, 2017
REVIEW
Another Emerging Asia equity index broke out to new all-time highs. Philippines SE Composite index breached the 8,125 level after moving in a 2 year-long, wide trading range between 6,500 and 8,125 levels. The equity benchmark has been in a steady uptrend for the past year. Last two week's price action cleared the strong horizontal resistance and pushed the index to uncharted territory. Once a strong resistance, 8,125 level now acts as support. As long as the index holds above that level we will expect positive momentum to continue in the Philippine Stock Exchange. An efficient way to take advantage of the recent bullish technical development in the Emerging Asian country is through iShares MSCI Philippines ETF (EPHE.K) that is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
