    Peso Extends Slide Ahead of US Inflation Data

    The peso sank further against the dollar on Wednesday, inching close to its record low, on expectations of faster US consumer inflation and amid fresh hostilities in the Middle East. The currency shed seven centavos to end at P62.87 versus the greenback from its P62.80 finish on Tuesday. The local unit opened the session stronger at P62.70 per dollar and climbed to an intraday high of P62.65. Meanwhile, its weakest showing was at P62.88, near its all-time-low finish of P62.90 recorded on Oct. 8. Dollars traded declined to $941 million from $1.022 billion. The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, fell 0.09% to 102.09, following a 0.35% slide on Tuesday, Reuters reported.

    Eagles' Sean Mannion Discusses Life Without Saquon Barkley

The Eagles lost 19-17, partly due to their inability to run the ball effectively without Barkley. Mannion praised Barkley's unique talent and expressed confidence in the team's depth at the running back position. Meanwhile, NFL insider Adam Schefter suggested that Barkley's return for Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers is uncertain.

    EPA Set to Weaken Methane Regulations for Oil and Gas Industry

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is poised to release a draft proposal that would significantly weaken regulations on methane emissions from the oil and gas industry. The new rules, expected to be published within days, would allow for additional leaking, venting, and flaring, which could significantly raise emissions of the potent greenhouse gas. The revisions would also rescind the agency's Methane Super Emitter Program and ease regulations for other operation components. Environmental advocates argue that the proposed rollback reflects a coordinated industry wish list.
