MANILA, Philippines — The stock market bounced back to end the week on a high note as it drew inspiration from other markets in the region. The benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange index rose by 0.84 percent or 55.74 points to close at 6,726.01. Claire Alviar of Philstocks Financial said the local bourse rebounded along with most Asian markets following the strong sell-off on Thursday.
