BSP eyes measures to curb peso climb

Buy more Philippine Pesos??? BSP eyes measures to curb peso climb By   Doris C. Dumlao ,  Michelle V. Remo Philippine Daily Inquirer The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas said 2013 could be a challenging year as far as preventing an even steeper appreciation of the peso was concerned, noting that a potential investment grade credit-rating for the country could drive more foreign portfolio investments. Admitting it was actively buying dollars from the market in 2012 to temper what could have been a sharper appreciation of the local currency, the BSP said it expected the need for more action to keep the peso as less volatile as possible next year. “Capital flows from a [potential] credit-rating upgrade will provide more challenge in terms of keeping the peso relatively stable and minimizing its volatility,” BSP Deputy Governor Diwa Guinigundo told reporters Friday. In 2012, the peso appreciated against the dollar by more than 6 percent partly on account of significant inflo

Stocks continue rally

A news article from:  Doris C. Dumlao of  Philippine Daily Inquirer Stocks continue rally LOCAL stocks extended their gains for a fourth session Friday, bucking a regional downturn on the back of a positive credit-rating outlook by Standard & Poor’s and some yearend window-dressing. The main-share Philippine Stock Exchange index gained 26.2 points or 0.45 percent to close at 5,823.94. The index hit a high of 5,860.12 in intraday trade—very close to the all-time intraday peak of 5,866.83—but pared down gains instead of breaking into new highs. “Being the last day before Christmas, this is truly a Santa Claus rally.

I chanced upon the opportunity to look again into my blog to review the books that we considered as the bible in understanding technical analysis: Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets: A Comprehensive Guide to Trading Methods and Applications (New York Institute of Finance) - John J. Murphy You can purchase this book in Amazon via the link provided (left column) I tried to look for the book again as my 19 year old brother got interested in diving into stock trading. I started talking to him passionately about technical analysis and in time got a little bit nostalgic and sentimental about my personal history in trading Philippine stocks. My b
