[Title] => Is peso being propped up against dollar?
[Summary] => Is the peso being propped up againt the dollar?
This possibility surfaced yesterday as the peso continued to resist breaching the psychological 54-to-a-dollar barrier despite mounting pressure from companies building their dollar holdings on rising concern over the possibility of a war in the Middle East.
At the Philippine Dealing System (PDS), the peso managed to close below the 54-to-the-dollar level, settling at 53.980 yesterday or two centavos lower than the previous day’s close of 53.960 to the dollar.

[Title] => Yields on longer term T-bills seen to rise
[Summary] => Yields on the 182-day and 364-day Treasury bills could rise tomorrow, while the 91-day bellwether rate will continue to correct, according to Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Governor Rafael B. Buenaventura.
Buenaventura noted that market sentiment is for a continued increase for the 182- and 364-day T-bill rates because of the higher-than-expected budget deficit for this year.
He warned that if the worst case scenario for the deficit materializes, which is a P126.5 billion deficit this year, interest rates are bound to rise.
