RP stocks soar higher

Local stocks rallied to a new all-time high to breach the 4,200 level on Thursday as investors continued to seek better yields amid record-low interest rates.

The main-share Philippine Stock Exchange index racked up 48.26 points or 1.15 percent to 4,245.05.

The upswing was led by the holding firms and services counters which surged by 1.9 percent and 1.2 percent, respectively.

Value turnover, however, was relatively thinner at P5 billion compared to an average of over P6 billion since mid-September.

There were 54 gainers against 70 decliners and 56 unchanged stocks.
