MEXICO: Oil worries mount
The Mexican peso fell by about 2%
against the US dollar on 1 September. Although most other emerging market
currencies also weakened that day against the dollar, the move against the
Mexican peso was disproportionately large at 28 centavos. This was the biggest
daily fall in the currency since April 2009. The Brazilian Real, for instance,
weakened by only 0.7%.
