* The international credit ratings agency Moody’s Investors Service has said that the results of Mexico’s midterm federal legislative elections and changes in key economic posts are “

Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s
recent announcement of Finance Minister
Arturo Herrera, as his choice for new central bank (Banxico) governor; that of
Rogelio Ramírez de la O as his new finance minister;
and the loss of congressional seats for the ruling left-wing Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena) party in the 6 June election.
