PH shares end week with losses

The first full week of equities trading for 2014 ended with the benchmark index ending not near the 6,000-point level.

“Investors grope far from as the market spent the first seven sessions of the year alternating between gains and losses. Foreign funds have continued to be negatively biased amid a seeming lull on the domestic news front and a bevy of fresh economic leads from abroad,” Jun Calaycay, Accord Capital Equities Corp. analyst, said on Friday.
