2. The Dollar is weakening
or both.
What happen is what currency trader's called a hick-up
Remember during last week naay issue about Nokor shelling of a Sokor Island?
When things like that happen, investors become wary of foreign investments and will be going back to a "safe haven" which is the Dollar. Its not only the peso that weakened it was all currencies except the dollar. Now that being said. IF you have dollars right now, and want to make the most of them better exchange them now, now that its quite high, it is due for correction, plus the influx of dollars coming from OFWs would really lower it down significantly.
TIP:
Historically the peso exchange rate goes down usually on December, but would slightly go back up the first weeks of January? Why because foreign investors usually draw out their earnings, thus they would be exchanging their Peso for Dollars. That is why it is best not to cash in your Dollars on December but rather DO it 3rd week of January. Pero speculation lang ni, basin mo dayun diay jud ang gira, di motaas jud na samot ang Dollar, but the problem here is that it will also increase the cost of living sa Pinas, kay motaas man pud ang presyo sa gasolina, and other imports from the US. So all in all it will equal out
