MANILA, Philippines — Lower-priced stocks and the peso regaining strength against the US dollar perked up investors on Wednesday. This enabled the Philippine Stock Exchange Index (PSEi) to close just below the 6,100 barrier. The benchmark index added 0.29 percent or 17.88 points to settle at 6,094.1. The PSEi briefly broke through the 6,100 level, although some selling pressure among conglomerates, industrial and property firms pushed it back to 6,000. Foreigners were also net sellers, with outflows totaling P233.37 million.
