As the third quarter of 2022 ends, the global and local markets are battered yet again by weakening stock prices, rising policy rates, heated inflation, and plummeting currencies globally.
With so much turbulence over the last quarter, can markets still end 2022 on a high note? In this episode of Wealth Watchers, we discuss the recent economic developments, their impact on the market, and how we can weather this challenging environment.
Note: This episode was derived from a webinar that was held on September 16, 2022, covering the month of August and the first two weeks of September.

For the first time in history, the Philippine peso plummeted and breached the 57-level against the U.S. dollar. This is 12% above the 51 pesos per dollar rate at the start of the year. While most Asian currencies take a beating against the greenback, U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and other Fed officials signaled for more rate hikes.
Join our Investment Analyst Dazz Mercado as he talks about the drivers and implications of the weak peso to the Philippine economy and local investment markets. At the same time, he also touches on how the global themes of elevated inflation, tighter monetary policies, and weaker economic growth continue to take shape.
While the month of August is almost over, let's have a recap of the previous month's market highlights in this audio version of The Monthly Market Wrap.

In the month of June, the Philippine peso breached the 55-to-a-dollar mark at an intraday weakest of Php 55.15 against the dollar. The last time the peso traded at this level was more than 16 years ago. The peso's plunge is raising alarm bells that the local currency may be sliding too fast, making it the worst performer in the ASEAN region.
Meanwhile, consumers are bearing the brunt of the peso's slide. For one, the Philippines is heavily dependent on the world market for its oil, and a weak currency can make oil imports more expensive.
Tune in as our Credit Officer Francine Ferrer discusses the global and local market movements contributing to the peso's depreciation, and how these factors impact our investments.
