Rates Outlook: Seeing a narrower range
Traders are eyeing a potential test of the PHP 59 all-time high for the dollar-peso exchange rate in the coming months
(Editor’s Note: This outlook is subject to updates.)
Maria Christina “Yna” Virtudazo, Investment Counselor, Financial Markets Sector, Metrobank, described how the dollar-peso caught the waves coming from market sentiments on Japan’s incoming prime minister and the surprise rate cut of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas last week. This week, we may see a narrower range in the 58 level, with a possibility of reaching the all-time high of 59.
