MANILA, Sept. 2 (PNA) — The Philippine peso again closed sideways to the dollar Wednesday on renewed hopes for a September hike in the Federal Reserve rates as well as China’s move to avert speculative trading.
It ended the day at 46.70 from 46.68 a day ago, which a trader also traced to correction after the US dollar rally last week.
It opened the day at 46.73, also a slight change from the 46.75 a day ago.
It traded between 46.74 and 46.69 bringing the day’s average to 46.71.
