  • USD/PHP 1-month NDF last seen at PHP52.440, unchanged on the day. Bears keep an eye on May 23 low of PHP52.070, while bulls look for a move through May 12 high of PHP52.850.
  • The peso showed muted reaction to the news that BSP Gov Diokno will take the helm of the Finance Department, the decision was leaked hours before the official announcement.
