Philippine stocks are expected to trade sideways this week, with possible uptick on month-end window-dressing.“Absent other catalysts, next week’s month-end window dressing period might be an opening for traders to position and bet ahead of the US poll plus Fed cut week, especially given the timing on the earlier RRR cut implementation that should further inject available cash flow for trading,” online brokerage firm 2TradeAsia.com said.
2TradeAsia.com said attention would also focus on the upcoming US presidential elections which would likely dictate next year’s outlook on global trade.

“The unfortunate impact of severe tropical storm Kristine is partly to blame for the main index’s big dip,” 2TradeAsia.com said.
