                    [Summary] => As the precedent-setting impeachment trial against President Estrada heats up, the stockmarket is not expected to take the same route although the market’s bias is on the upside due to occasional pickings mostly by the government financial institutions (GFIs) in preparation for their year-end window-dressing.


"It won’t be very active, so we don’t expect much action at the market in the meantime," Eagle Equities president Joey Roxas said. "Everybody seems to be keeping tab of the development in the impeachment trial."

"There is still hesitation since the market is uncertain of what the outcome of President Estrada’s impeachment trial will be," said veteran stockbroker Irving, Ackerman, who heads his own securities firm I. Ackerman and Co.

But Malacañang immediately took credit for the markets’ rebound and dispelled speculations of an impending resignation by the President.


Stock prices posted their biggest single-day gain in 13 years as foreign fund managers led buyers at the stock market, grabbing almost all stocks, analysts said.

At the Philippine Dealing System (PDS), the peso tumbled to a record low of  49 to the dollar in  morning trading, eclipsing the previous record of  48.50 posted  on Friday  as traders shrugged off both the President’s weekend vow to get the government out of gambling and his apology for the scandal involving alleged jueteng  payoffs.

Irving Ackerman of I. Ackerman and Co. said the market is still under intense pressure from the slew of domestic problems and last Friday’s rebound in the US stock markets might hardly be cheered upon.
