Peso inches up as markets await US jobs data

THE PESO edged up against the dollar on Monday but stayed at the P59 level as markets turned cautious before the release of US data that could give clues on the state of the world’s largest economy and affect the US Federal Reserve’s policy path.

The local unit gained 2.5 centavos to close at P59.04 versus the greenback from its P59.065 finish on Friday, data from the Bankers Association of the Philippines data showed.

The peso opened Monday’s trading session sharply weaker at P59.15 versus the dollar. Its weakest showing was at P59.18, while its intraday best was its closing level of P59.04 against the greenback.

Dollars traded fell to $911.5 million from $1.65 billion on Friday.

The peso inched up due to cautious trading leading up to the release of the latest US nonfarm payrolls data, a trader said in a phone interview.

The peso was also supported by a generally weaker greenback following the US Federal Reserve’s rate cut last week and amid lower global crude oil prices, Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. Chief Economist Michael L. Ricafort said in a Viber message.

For Tuesday, the trader said the peso could move between P58.90 and P59.20 per dollar, while Mr. Ricafort sees it ranging from P58.95 to P59.15.

A host of US data delayed by the government shutdown is set to be released, giving investors a long-awaited view of the world’s largest economy, with the November jobs report due on Tuesday and inflation figures on Thursday, Reuters reported.

A divided Fed cut rates last week, but Chair Jerome H. Powell signaled borrowing costs were unlikely to drop further in the near term as policymakers await more economic clarity.

US President Donald J. Trump said on Friday he was leaning towards either former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh or National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett to lead the central bank next year. — A.M.C. Sy with Reuters

Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale

Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale

The post Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:13 The meme coin market is heating up once again as traders look for the next breakout token. While Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to build its ecosystem and PEPE holds onto its viral roots, a new contender, Layer Brett (LBRETT), is gaining attention after raising more than $3.7 million in its presale. With a live staking system, fast-growing community, and real tech backing, some analysts are already calling it “the next PEPE.” Here’s the latest on the Shiba Inu price forecast, what’s going on with PEPE, and why Layer Brett is drawing in new investors fast. Shiba Inu price forecast: Ecosystem builds, but retail looks elsewhere Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to develop its broader ecosystem with Shibarium, the project’s Layer 2 network built to improve speed and lower gas fees. While the community remains strong, the price hasn’t followed suit lately. SHIB is currently trading around $0.00001298, and while that’s a decent jump from its earlier lows, it still falls short of triggering any major excitement across the market. The project includes additional tokens like BONE and LEASH, and also has ongoing initiatives in DeFi and NFTs. However, even with all this development, many investors feel the hype that once surrounded SHIB has shifted elsewhere, particularly toward newer, more dynamic meme coins offering better entry points and incentives. PEPE: Can it rebound or is the momentum gone? PEPE saw a parabolic rise during the last meme coin surge, catching fire on social media and delivering massive short-term gains for early adopters. However, like most meme tokens driven largely by hype, it has since cooled off. PEPE is currently trading around $0.00001076, down significantly from its peak. While the token still enjoys a loyal community, analysts believe its best days may be behind it unless…
