Philippines hikes rates more than expected to curb inflation
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The central bank of the Philippines raised its key interest rate by 50 basis points to 5.75% on Thursday in a move to fight inflation. The bank said its baseline forecasts show the risk of inflation exceeding the inflation targets for 2008 and 2009. "Authorities believe that the series of policy adjustments will help to steer inflation towards its desired path for the medium term," the bank said in a statement. Most analysts had expected a hike of only 25 basis points. "This sparked an impressive 1.2% rally in the peso, which is still off about 7.7% for the year, making it among the worst performing Asian currencies," said currency strategists at Brown Brothers Harriman. In Manila, the PSE stock index finished up 0.8%. It is down 34% year-to-date. Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.
