Forex, stock trading suspended

MANILA, Philippines — Stock and foreign exchange trading were suspended on Wednesday as heavy rain and floods brought by a typhoon-enhanced southwest monsoon led to the cancellation of classes and the closure of most government offices in Metro Manila.

In a Facebook post, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said that trading in the US dollar and Philippine peso, as well as monetary operations, would be halted for the day.
