What happened
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas eased foreign exchange intervention amid weak domestic growth and a large current account deficit. Market reports indicate the Philippine peso is vulnerable to external shocks, with some analysts expecting it could test a new historic low against the US Dollar. This pressure is compounded by the US Federal Reserve raising interest rates and continued uncertainty in the Middle East.
Why it matters
Concerns over the Philippine economy's growth, driven by public infrastructure delays and tepid household spending, are causing the local stock market to decline. The combination of elevated global oil prices, rising local treasury yields, and hawkish signals from the US Federal Reserve is weighing on the peso and the market.
