0204 GMT - USD/PHP may test the psychological 59 level in the near term, Barclays' FICC research team says in a report. Elevated onshore dollar demand, the Philippine central bank's communication leaning to the dovish side and only "modest intervention" in the foreign-exchange market should keep the Philippine peso trading on the back foot, the team says. However, the hurdle for the pace of peso depreciation to quicken appears high, given the relatively crowded positioning and the peso's movements so far, the team adds. USD/PHP is down 0.1% at 58.54.
