PHILIPPINE C.BANK governor said the bank limits intervention when the dollar is strong to preserve market order.

Alex Vatanka, senior fellow at the Middle East Institute in Washington, challenged President Trump’s claim that nearly two weeks of U.S. strikes forced Iran back to the negotiating table, saying he does not believe Iran would capitulate solely from military strikes. Vatanka said Iran has signalled to the Trump administration that time favours Tehran and it can endure more pain than the U.S.; the approach is risky but consistent with its recent strategy and he sees no major change. He added that U.S. officials and sources in Washington are discussing the diminishing effectiveness of continued strikes, with most judging them no longer effective, and that the ceasefire looks like a U.S.-initiated attempt to see whether diplomacy can be pursued again.
