USD/PHP Close To 57.00 Resistance Point

PHP

Early impetus in USD/PHP is to the topside. The pair is last near 56.96, +0.20% firmer versus yesterday's closing levels (we ended at 56.83). This puts us close to upside resistance at 57.00, which is also a reported intervention point from the authorities.

  • A weaker PHP is in line with broadly stronger USD gains and a more elevated US yield backdrop. Focus will be on whether the pair can test above 57.00 we haven't breached this level in a number of months.
  • There is no data today, but focus will be on whether the BSP delivers an off cycle rate hike, which Governor Remolona warned about earlier in the week.
