    🇵🇭 PSEi Reclaims 6,000, the Peso Hits Three Record Lows, and Jollibee Heads to Hong Kong | Philippine Market Wrap (Aug 31–Sep 4, 2026)

    A weekly journal from a Philippines addict slowly building a PSE stock portfolio on the road to an SIRV visa and a move to Manila. The PSEi gained 2.25% this week to close at 6,090.60, reclaiming the 6,000 level it lost last week. But the peso set three record lows against the dollar, finishing at 62.59. August inflation eased to 6.1% — while rice prices accelerated to +19.4%. The biggest story: Jollibee (JFC), my largest holding, announced plans to spin off its international business and list it in Hong Kong. As a shareholder sitting on a 31% loss, I break it down from three angles — what I'll actually own, what it does to the balance sheet, and how the market is reading it. Also this week: SEC clearance for the P92.3 billion GCash (Mynt) IPO set for October 20, a sharp bounce in the banks (BPI +5.4%, BDO +4.2%), and an honest look at why my portfolio rose just 0.4% while the index rose 2.25%. In this episode: The PSEi day by dayAugust CPI at 6.1% and rice at +19.4%Three record lows for the pesoGCash (Mynt) IPO clearedPortfolio: -14.54% to -14.17%The Damage Report and the Rescue SquadStock comments: JFC, BDO, URCDeep dive: Jollibee's Hong Kong spin-offWhat I'm watching next weekThis podcast documents a personal investment journey and is not investment advice.
