Supermarkets brace for price hikes amid rising US dollar
http://www.gmanews.tv/story/192618/s...sing-us-dollar
With the recent strengthening of the US dollar, Philippine supermarket owners are bracing for a possible price hike in canned goods and other items using imported raw materials.
But for the moment, Philippine Association of Supermarkets Inc. secretary general Federico Ples reassured consumers on Friday there will be no immediate price adjustments because there is no formal advice from manufacturers yet.
“For the meantime ang delivery sa amin wala pang pagtataas (pero) nagbabadya ang pagtaas dahil tumataas ang halaga ng dollar. Kung ang manufacturing nila may ingredients na imported maaring tumaas next time mag-deliver sila. Sa ngayon wala pa pero pangamba namin next delivery mataas na," Ples said in an interview on dwIZ radio.
(For the moment, we have not received any formal advice of a price hike. But the strengthening of the dollar may lead to that, especially if manufacturers import some of their ingredients and other materials for their products. Our gut feeling is that there may be some price adjustments soon.)
Ples said they are expecting a possible increase in prices of canned goods because manufacturers import the metal plates they use to make the cans.
“[Pero], dadalhan kami ng price list, mag-uusap kami (But before they will impose a price hike, they will send us a list of their prices, and we will discuss that with them)," he said.
Ay jobs Friday pala ngayon... Many expect a 500,000 job increase mostly from temporary jobs hired by Uncle Sam for the Census... Unemployment is expected to be a still high 9.7%... Jobless recovery continues!
yep
they're estimating around half a million jobs created

serious stuff dudes
euro vertical drop

SocGen has problems
SocGen is big

Hungary has problems
Hungary isnt really that big a deal
Hungary is not even a Eurozone country, pero who cares just sell risky assets!
Add to that the jobs market in the US was crap! 431K added, sounds good right? WRONG! 411K of that 431K is only TEMPORARY jobs for CENSUS work for Uncle Sam. The private sector only added 41K jobs! Unemployment is 9.7% still very high!
Nice! Markets down and I am happy!![]()
