The Philippine peso closed at P64.17 per dollar on 27 October, its first finish above P64 and its 38th record low this year. The central bank raised rates 50 basis points to 5.50 percent, a cumulative 125 basis points, without halting the currency's decline.
A weakening peso raises the cost of dollar-priced imports such as wheat, fertilizer and fuel for the Philippines, which can curb feed purchasing power and demand for US and Black Sea grain and meal. Inflation near 8 percent adds pressure on local feed and livestock margins.
