                    [Title] => Market eases on PLDT’s weaker first half income
                    [Summary] => 

Share prices closed 0.46 percent lower yesterday after Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) reported a weaker first half net profit, dealers said. 


They said investors were also sidelined, awaiting signals from US monetary authorities, who will decide later in the day whether or not to end a two-year cycle of interest rate hikes. 


The composite index ended down 10.88 points at the day’s low of 2,367.75. It touched a high of 2,382.19. The broader all-shares index retreated 3.49 points to 1,453.44.

Share prices closed 0.1 percent lower yesterday as investors remained cautious due to higher oil prices and ahead of the US Federal Reserve policy meeting, dealers said. 


They said another rise in US interest rates would come as no surprise, but investors were focused on the accompanying statement for an outlook of the US economy and whether the current rate cycle was nearing an end.

They said fresh concerns over the EVAT law, which has been held up by legal challenges from the opposition, combined with the likelihood of a further rise in interest rates to dampen sentiment.
