USD/PHP Lower, But Simple 20-Day MA Provides A Base

PHP

USD/PHP is back below 56.00, the pair last at 55.80. Earlier lows were at 55.685, while the simple 20-day MA comes in at 55.699, so this may have provided some support. Still, we are -0.70% lower for the pair compared to yesterday's closing levels.

  • Despite growth optimism from the BSP it hasn't been enough to pull local equities higher. the PCOMP last at 6551 (-0.25%), note the simple 200-day MA comes in at 6529.8, which has acted as a support point the past week.
