What happened
The Philippine Peso breached the P63-per-US-dollar level for the first time on Thursday, closing at P63.06 versus the greenback. This decline followed hot US inflation data, which bolstered expectations that the Federal Reserve could keep interest rates higher for longer. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas is considering intervention to smooth volatility caused by the higher US rates strengthening the US Dollar.
