THE PESO is expected to move within a tight band this week as traders wait for a batch of delayed US economic reports following the end of a state shutdown.

- — Aaron Michael C. Sy

It closed at P59.065 a dollar on Friday, 6.5 centavos weaker than Thursday, according to Bankers Association of the Philippines data posted on its website. It was also slightly down from its P59.04 finish a week earlier.

A trader said the peso initially strengthened, touching P58.77, after risk appetite improved when US President Donald J. Trump signed a funding bill restoring government operations. The 43-day shutdown had halted several data releases, leaving investors without economic signals.
