Philippine stock market index falls 0.89% as investors watch for interest rate clues.

The Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) fell 0.89% on Friday as investors await guidance on interest rates. The US Federal Reserve hinted at two rate cuts this year, while the Philippines' central bank may cut rates at their April meeting. Despite potential boosts from window-dressing ahead of quarter-end, trade tensions and uncertainty over tariffs are expected to limit market gains. The PSEi closed at 6,266.75, down 0.43% week-on-week, with analysts predicting it to range between 6,000 and 6,300 in the near term.
