The Philippine peso weakened to 63.055 per dollar on Friday after stronger US labor data and renewed risk aversion, although it gained over the week as global oil prices fell. Analysts said the exchange rate could test 63.30 if US data sustains dollar demand, while seasonal remittances may support the peso.
A weaker peso raises the local-currency cost of imported feed ingredients and other commodities priced in dollars. Lower oil prices and remittance inflows could help cushion the currency pressure.
