The peso overpowered a weak dollar, which dropped amid optimism fueled by the ceasefire announcement. This, despite signals from the US Federal Reserve that it would stay patient as inflation in America is projected to rise “soon”.
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Eli Remolona Jr. had said that the central bank was ready to defend the peso if its weakness reaches a certain “threshold” and threatens the inflation outlook.
