'For the week, Tantiangco sees some 'episodes of profit taking.''However, the market may still end next week on a positive note as the dovish monetary policy outlook of the BSP and the Fed may continue to uphold optimism.''The peso's appreciation, if it continues, is also expected to help in sustaining the market's upward movement,' he added.The currency this month returned to the P55 per dollar level, but it slipped eight centavos to P55.69:$1 on Friday.
