PHP
Spot USD/PHP reopened on a softer footing, but has trimmed losses since and last trades +0.025 at PHP49.945. The rate charted a double top pattern yesterday and bears look for renewed losses past PHP49.816, which represents the 23.6% retracement of the Jun 1 - Jul 19 rally. Bulls keep an eye on Jul 28/22 highs of PHP50.490/50.496.
- USD/PHP 1-month NDF last seen +0.070 at PHP50.060. A break under the 38.2% retracement of the Jun 7 - Jul 19 rally at PHP49.969 would help confirm the formation of a head & shoulders top pattern. Bulls need a rally above Jul 27 high of PHP50.730 to get some reprieve.
- Philippine unemployment rate remained at 7.7% in June, amid upticks in participation and underemployment.
