- BI holds rate despite seeing hawkish Fed stance - Regulations
Bank Indonesia kept its BI Rate unchanged at 5.75%, where it has stood since June, even though it expects the U.S. Federal Reserve to pursue a tight monetary policy. Governor Destry Damayanti said the global outlook is 'higher for longer' given the high likelihood of a Fed rate increase, though she did not give a timing. CME FedWatch data showed most traders expect the Fed to hold rates at its October 27–28 meeting but to raise them by 25 basis points at the December meeting. BI had hiked three times between May and June, by a total of 100 basis points, to halt rapid rupiah depreciation amid pressure on emerging-market currencies.
- Philippine peso logs record low
The Philippine peso fell further on Monday to close at a record low of 63.09 pesos per US dollar, surpassing the previous record of 63.06 pesos, according to the Bankers Association of the Philippines. It was the 28th record low this year. John Paolo Rivera, senior research fellow at the Philippine Institute for Development Studies, attributed the slide to persistent dollar strength, elevated oil prices, geopolitical uncertainty and rising demand for foreign currency. Central bank data shows the balance of payments deficit widened to US$9.1 billion as of the end of September, from US$5.3 billion a year earlier, indicating more funds left the country.
- Philippine peso logs record low - Xinhua
The Philippine peso fell further on Monday to close at a record low of 63.09 per U.S. dollar, surpassing the previous record of 63.06 set on Oct. 15, according to the Bankers Association of the Philippines. It was the peso's 28th record low this year. John Paolo Rivera of the Philippine Institute for Development Studies attributed the decline to persistent dollar strength, elevated oil prices, geopolitical uncertainty and rising demand for foreign currency. Data from the central bank, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, showed a balance of payments deficit of $9.1 billion as of end-September, wider than the $5.3 billion deficit a year earlier, indicating more funds leaving the country.
- Peso slides to new low on dollar strength - BusinessWorld Online
The Philippine peso closed at a record low of P63.09 per dollar on Monday, down 10.5 centavos from Friday's P62.985, as safe-haven demand tied to geopolitical risks kept the greenback strong. The level surpassed the previous all-time-low close of P63.06 on Oct. 15, and the peso has depreciated 6.82% year to date. Analysts cited elevated global crude prices as a driver of dollar demand and noted the peso was weaker ahead of the BSP's policy meeting on Thursday, where 20 of 22 economists in a BusinessWorld poll expect a fourth straight 25-basis-point hike. Philippine Institute for Development Studies fellow John Paolo R. Rivera said the bigger concern is prolonged depreciation that feeds inflation and weakens household purchasing power, with the peso seen between P63 and P63.20 on Tuesday.
- Peso crosses 63 to $1 level
The Philippine peso closed at 63.06 to the dollar, weakening 19 centavos from the previous session to a fresh record low, below the prior record of 62.90 set on Oct. 8. The main driver was stronger US inflation, which raised expectations that the Federal Reserve would keep rates elevated for longer, lifting the dollar and US Treasury yields and reducing appetite for emerging-market currencies. Higher oil prices, geopolitical uncertainty, elevated domestic inflation and softer foreign reserves also weighed on the peso. A weaker peso raises the local cost of dollar-priced imports such as fuel, which could add to business expenses and consumer prices. Analysts expect the peso to stay volatile and tilted toward weakness, while markets await guidance from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) ahead of next week's policy meeting.
- Philippine peso sinks past P63 per dollar for first time
The Philippine peso closed at P63.06 per US dollar on Thursday, falling 19 centavos and breaching the P63 level for the first time, with an intraday record low of P63.15. The move followed hot US inflation data that reinforced expectations the Federal Reserve will keep rates higher for longer, alongside high US Treasury yields and elevated crude oil prices. Gross international reserves fell 8.3% to $99.997 billion in the nine months to September, the lowest in three years and the seventh straight monthly annual decline. BSP Governor Eli Remolona said the central bank does not defend the peso at a specific level and intervenes only to smooth inflationary swings, and the BSP has raised its key rate by 75 bps since April to 5%, with its next meeting on Oct. 22. Analysts expect the peso to stay volatile and tilted to the weaker side in the near term.

Latest news
- Canada opens consultation on stablecoins, citing US GENIUS Act
The Canadian government has opened a 60-day public consultation on proposed regulations for stablecoin issuers that are not financial institutions, with comments accepted until Dec. 23. The draft proposes barring interest or yield payments, requiring redemption within three business days of tokenholder requests, and capping fees at 1% of the coins' total value. The rules fall under Canada's Stablecoin Act, passed in March, and are intended to take effect in fall 2027, when non-financial issuers would have to register with the Bank of Canada before issuing stablecoins. The framework aims to stay consistent with US and other jurisdictions' stablecoin rules to reduce the regulatory burden on multi-jurisdictional issuers. Meanwhile, the US GENIUS Act is scheduled to take effect in January 2027, and the EU's MiCA could give exchanges until January to halt services for non-compliant stablecoins, likely including Tether's USDT.
- AI Agents Found a Way Into Anthropic's Business Systems in Under 12 Hours
Cathedral, a cybersecurity startup founded by four former staffers of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), says its AI agents reached Anthropic's internal systems in less than 12 hours by exploiting weaknesses in third-party administrative and sales software rather than Claude itself. Anthropic confirmed access to a limited set of sales, HR and IT systems holding business contact details and basic user account records, but says customer conversations, Claude responses, source code and model weights were not reached. Anthropic said Cathedral overstated the national security implications and did not disclose all of its activity, while Cathedral said it kept data access to the absolute minimum. A senior Trump administration official, speaking anonymously, said the report has circulated in government and raised national security concerns.
- Will Bitcoin Hit $100,000 Before the End of 2026?
Bitcoin is down about 10% so far in 2026 and has not reached $100,000 this year, after falling below $60,000 earlier and rallying about 27% since the start of August. The recent rally was driven by concerns over U.S. debt and higher bond yields, which pushed investors toward Bitcoin as an alternative to the dollar. However, the price has recently slipped amid possible profit-taking and renewed fears about market stability. Bitcoin reached around $80,000 in May before giving back those gains. The author expects headwinds such as possible rate increases and a potentially split Congress after the midterm elections, which could hinder crypto-friendly reform, so he does not anticipate a return to $100,000 anytime soon.
- SoFi Stock Lost 82% Once Before, Then Rose About Sevenfold. It's More Than 50% Below Its High Again.
SoFi stock once dropped 82% before soaring 650% about three years later to reach new highs, but it now sits 54% below that peak after just a few months. Q2 adjusted net revenue rose 40% year over year to $1.2 billion, EPS increased from $0.08 to $0.12, and the company added 1.1 million members (up 35%) and 2.2 million products (up 42%), with 51% of new products coming from existing customers. Tech Platform sales keep declining after the loss of a major customer, and management did not raise net income guidance even though it raised revenue guidance. The stock trades at a P/E of 31 and a price-to-book ratio of 1.7, and it faces competition from legacy banks and digital rivals such as Ally, Happen and Nu Holdings. The author thinks SoFi could return to its previous highs but it may take time, and the stock could move when it reports earnings on Tuesday.
- Why Ambev S.A. Dropped Today
Ambev shares fell 15.5% on Monday, not because of company-specific financials but after far-left candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva unexpectedly won Brazil's presidential runoff against Flávio Bolsonaro, whom investors had been betting on. Ambev had rallied after Bolsonaro led the first round on Oct. 4 with 47% to Lula's 45%, but Lula won the second round 51.8% to 48.2%, the first time since 1988 that the first-round leader did not win. Lula has promised large welfare payments and may increase business regulation, which triggered a sell-off in Brazil's currency and bonds, raising inflation risk and reducing the value of Ambev's real-denominated earnings in U.S. dollar terms. Ambev trades at a 14.7 P/E and a 4.1% dividend yield, and the company reports third-quarter earnings on Thursday, Oct. 29.
- 1 Reason to Buy Meta Stock Now and Hold for the Long Term
Meta Platforms, which earns nearly all its revenue from ads, was down about 10% from its September high of $779.82 as of Oct. 22, despite 26% year-over-year revenue growth in the third quarter. The author sees the dip as a buying opportunity because non-ad revenue from its apps rose 59% to $1.1 billion, driven by WhatsApp paid messaging and subscriptions, and Meta One has passed 15 million subscriptions and trials, growing more than twice as fast as the company overall. CFO Susan Li said new AI businesses could start contributing to revenue growth in 2027. The main near-term headwind is capital expenditures of up to $145 billion this year, and the stock trades at about 19 times analysts' 2027 earnings estimate, roughly in line with the S&P 500's forward multiple of 19.3.
