MANILA—Lack of direction on when the next hike of the Federal Reserve’s key rates would weaken the US dollar to the advantage of the Philippine peso but not to the local bourse Thursday.

The local unit finished the day at 49.75 from the previous session’s 49.82.

A trader said the yields of US treasuries pulled back after the Fed decided to keep rates steady, at 0.50 to 0.75 percent and lack of direction from Fed chairperson Janet Yellen regarding the next increase in the Fed’s key rates.
