Sentiment improved after reports that the United States sent a 15-point peace plan to Iran, signaling potential de-escalation of ongoing geopolitical tensions.
Foreign investors returned as net buyers with inflows of PHP224.69 million, ending a 14-day streak of net selling, while all sectoral indices finished positive, led by mining and oil at 4.03 percent gains.
