💸 Transfer implications
- Expats: sending money to the US dollar may find current conditions more favourable than recent levels.
- Travellers: exchanging USD cash or loading currency cards might see stable or slightly better rates.
- Businesses: paying US dollar invoices in PHP could face less favourable exchange rates if the pair maintains its recent strength.
🧭 Key drivers

- Risk/commodities: Global risk-off conditions, driven by geopolitical tensions and energy prices, are boosting the USD.
- Global factors: Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to heighten safe-haven flows into the USD.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A further escalation in geopolitical tensions or a surge in energy prices could strengthen safe-haven flows, supporting the USD.
