PORTFOLIO STATISTICS
FUND MANAGER'S REPORT
Inflation continued to surprise on the downside, dropping much
further down to 3.7% compared to the market consensus
estimate of 4.0% in November and the previous month's 4.3%.
Rapidly-softening global crude oil prices have been translating to
consecutive rollbacks in local pump prices and even transport
costs, while food prices have remained stable. Expectedly, the
Monetary Board decided to keep its policy stance unchanged,
especially with the continued absence of risk from Fed rate hikes
for the present. Commercial banks, however, continued to
scramble for deposits, offering higher rates ranging from 2.25% to
3.0% for over-the-year placements. PMMF took advantage of the
short-term spike in TD rates, shifting investments thereto from
SDA.
