PROFIT-TAKING pushed the stock market down on Wednesday, but not enough for it to slide out of the 8,000 territory as investors paused to evaluate recent economic reports.
The benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) plunged by 2.32 percent or 190.80 points to finish at 8,025.88, while the wider All Shares fell by 1.70 percent or 83.01 points to close at 4,804.36.
