Janssen Roman, Investment Counselor, Financial Markets Sector, Metrobank, said the US dollar and oil prices will continue to sway the dollar-peso exchange rate this week. Strong US economic data may mean higher-for-longer rates, which may support the dollar, while weaker economic data may give the peso room to recover. Oil prices could also add pressure to the peso.
