The Philippine peso gained 1.1% against the US dollar over the week, despite a small daily decline on Friday. Analysts linked its weekly strength partly to lower global oil prices and seasonal foreign-currency conversions ahead of year-end spending.
Lower oil prices can reduce the Philippines’ import bill and ease pressure on the peso; a stronger peso can lower the local-currency cost of imported fuel and feed inputs.
