March 18, 2026

THE Philippine peso slightly strengthened on Tuesday after its four-day losing streak against the dollar after US President Donald Trump's call for countries to cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz—a critical oil chokepoint.

- By Andrea E. San Juan

Data from the Bankers’ Association of the Philippines (BAP) showed the peso closed at P59.8 per $1 on Tuesday.

This is 7 centavos stronger than its previous finish of P59.87 on Monday. The local currency hit a new all-time low on Monday.
