                    [Summary] => Stocks tumbled yesterday to their lowest level in two years on rising concerns over the peso’s continuing depreciation against the dollar fueled by lower-than-expected export growth figures, market analysts said.


"The declining trend in exports affected the peso, and consequently the stock market," said KGI Securities vice president Fitzgerald Aclan. "This is a bad market, there’s no reason for investors to position right now."
