The cover uses infrastructure and dynamic motion to symbolize the advances that PSE achieved through the years in reference to innovations in products and services, improvements in regulations, upgrades in technology, and enrichment of partnerships. These undertakings have geared the Exchange for growth. PSE is guided by its core values and commitment to its stakeholders as it lives out its mission and works toward the realization of its vision. Inside back of the cover: The triangular edge of the PSE Tower’s glass canopy creates the illusion of a second tower rising. This panoramic vertical shot is suggestive of PSE’s innovations and dynamism. About PSE The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. (PSE) is one of the fastest growing markets in the region. Among the pioneer exchanges in Asia, it traces its origins from the country’s two former stock exchanges, the Manila Stock Exchange (MSE), which was established in 1927, and the Makati Stock Exchange (MkSE), which was established in 1963. Although both the MSE and the MkSE traded the same stocks of the same companies, the bourses were separate stock exchanges for nearly 30 years until December 23, 1992, when both exchanges were unified to become the present-day Philippine Stock Exchange.

The definition of a Composite Stock Price Index (CSPI) or the meaning of JCI is one of several stock market indices (stock markets) used by the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI; formerly the Jakarta Stock Exchange (BEJ). The IHSG was first introduced on April 1, 1983, the function of the stock price index acts as an indicator that reflects the share price movements in the JSX in general (Oktarina, 2016). 1.1.2 Thailand Composite Stock Price Index The SET Index is a Thailand composite stock market index which is calculated from the prices of all common stocks (including unit trusts of property funds) on the main board of the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), except for stocks that have been suspended for more than one year.

  • Durations of Trade in the Philippine Stock Market: an Application of the Markov-Switching Multi-Fractal Duration (Msmd) Model
    DURATIONS OF TRADE IN THE PHILIPPINE STOCK MARKET: AN APPLICATION OF THE MARKOV-SWITCHING MULTI-FRACTAL DURATION (MSMD) MODEL Jennifer E. Hinlo1 and Agustina Tan-Cruz2 ABSTRACT This study examined the durations of trade in the Philippine Stock Market using the Markov Switching Multi-Fractal Duration (MSMD) Model using tick data from 20 frequently traded stocks in the Philippine Stock Market. Results revealed that higher duration results to lower trading intensity because of low information of traders about the stocks during the period. The lesser attention paid to the stock, the more likely that trade will not happen. The higher trading intensity is a result of shorter trade durations, this means that the interval from one trading transaction to another is smaller. The higher the trading intensity implies higher price impact of trades and faster price adjustment to new trade-related information. Information flow affects intensities but it does not trigger trading automatically because investors have limited attention, and they need to allocate attention to process all kinds of information before making a trading decision. Keywords: Markov Switching Multi-Fractal Duration (MSMD) Model, Philippine Stock Market, Trade Durations EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study examined the durations of trade in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) using the Markov Switching Multi-Fractal Duration (MSMD) Model using top twenty (20) randomly selected active firms listed in the PSE. Tick-by-tick intra-day trading of the equities in the PSE were used, from May 2 to 31, 2013, from 9:00 – 3:30pm (where the PSEI has recorded its 31st all-time high index).
