To stimulate the revival and rebounding of the global economy, post-pandemic global economic recovery phase requires collaboration and and cooperation.
By George Kinsley
The COVID-19 viral pandemic continues to be a highly personal, individual experience that is also an unprecedented globally-shared phenomenon with wide-ranging repercussions. The pandemic has disrupted lives across all countries and communities and negatively affected global economic growth in 2020 beyond anything experienced in nearly a century.
Estimates indicate the virus reduced global economic growth in 2020 to an annualized rate of -3.4% to -7.6%, with a recovery of 4.2% to 5.6% projected for 2021. Global trade is estimated to have fallen by 5.3% in 2020, but is projected to grow by 8.0% in 2021. According to a consensus of forecasts, the economic downturn in 2020 was not as negative as initially estimated, due in part to the fiscal and monetary policies governments adopted in 2020.
Generally, economic growth forecasts captured the decline and subsequent rebound in economic growth over the second and third quarters of 2020, but have been challenged since by the prolonged nature of the health crisis and its continuing impact on the global economy.

Our portfolio Recommendation
Top Things To Know Today
- USDPHP opened slightly higher at 52.41 following the well-bid tone of the USD in the region.
- Fixing demand supported USDPHP on dips, but continued presence of local USD supply at 52.50 and relatively light corporate demand capped further upside moves.
- Selling interest from offshore names drove USDPHP to its intraday low of 52.26, and eventually closing at 52.33 on some late squaring of risk positions.
- 25/30 support levels continue to serve as decent support for the local pair ahead of the 52.15/20 area.
- 50 remains the near-term resistance level due to sizable local offers. With dealers still wary of holding onto sizable bets below the 52.30 area, we remain better buyers on dips, particularly ahead of 52.20 where opportunistic buying is likely to scale in heavily.
- We recommend to buy USD on dips closer to 52.30 with corporate demand expected to scale in on any dip.
- We reiterate that uncertainty amidst global geopolitical tensions and the now more aggressive US Fed policy path will continue to drive a stronger USD bias.
