The market opened July in the green with noticeably improved trading activity as investors welcomed the lower stock transaction tax under the Capital Market Efficiency Promotion Act (CMEPA), which took effect on 1 July 2025. A day later, US President Donald Trump announced that a trade deal with Vietnam had been finalised, which included softer Vietnamese export tariffs at 20% (from 46%), transshipment tariffs of 40%, and zero US export tariffs. However, despite a cooler-than-expected June 2025 inflation print of 1.4% (est.: 1.5%), the bourse faced heavy selling pressure as investors locked in gains last Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PSE outlook this week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This week, we expect the market to trade upwards. As earlier noted by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, a sweeping tariff of 10% for more than 100 countries, is expected for the upcoming US tariff trade deadline by Thursday, 10 July. Nevertheless, favourable trade agreements between key trading partners and the Philippines could spur risk-on appetite and encourage trading activity. On the same day, investors willalso digest the Fed FOMC minutes, which will provide key insights into the state of the US economy and the direction of the policy rate. Fed Chair Powell has indicated recently that the Fed is not discounting a rate cut this month should data come in better-than-expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stock Picks this week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Bloomberry Resorts Corp. (BLOOM)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Recommendation<\/strong><\/td><td>Trailing stops<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>1-Year Target Price<\/strong><\/td><td>PHP 7.31<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>BLOOM is currently trading above all key moving averages (MA) 100-day, and 200-day), with the 20-day MA poised to cross above the 200-day MA. Further, the stock has bounced from support at its 200-day MA, with the RSI similarly pointing upwards, signalling the continuation of its uptrend. While overhang from index deletion expectations has mostly faded, we still take caution against potential selling pressure as portfolios are reallocated leading up to and on the rebalancing effectivity date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those with positions, implement trailing stops to secure gains and protect against potential selling pressure from index deletion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Alliance Global Group Inc. (AGI)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Recommendation<\/strong><\/td><td>Trailing stops<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>1-Year Target Price<\/strong><\/td><td>PHP 7.50<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>AGI surged by almost 70% from its 52-week low of PHP5.76, breaking above key moving averages (50-day, 100-day, and 200-day). However, it is trading at extremely oversold levels with momentum indicators indicating potential weakness. The counter recently printed A bearish MACD crossover and an RSI bearish divergence, which could signal a deeper pullback. Thus, we advise implementing trailing stops to capture further upward movement while protecting gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Implementing trailing stops is advisable to prepare for anticipated weakness and secure gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.\u00a0RL Commercial REIT Inc. (RCR)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Recommendation<\/strong><\/td><td>Buy on support<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>1-Year Target Price<\/strong><\/td><td>PHP 8.00<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>RCR has been in an uptrend, trading above its key moving averages (MAs) (20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day), which signals sustained bullish momentum. However, the stock recently hit resistance after reaching a new 52-week high of PHP7.06. The RSI has moved out of oversold territory, suggesting that a short-term price correction is underway. We view this pullback as an opportunity to accumulate the stock at key support levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accumulate RCR at support levels between PHP6.75-7.00. Take profits at PHP7.90 and set stop loss limits at PHP6.32. For long-term investors, we have a fundamental target price of PHP8.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><em><em>This report is prepared by PinoyInvestor\u2019s partner broker below.
