NAFTA Dangers Sends MXN Plunging

The Mexican Peso (MXN) is now about to record its lowest drop within a five-month period following reports that the Trump administration is planning to pull itself out from the NAFTA agreement. There are now reports that the White House is currently drafting an EO which will enable the said withdrawal and could be released either within the week or next week. This caused the Mexican Peso to crash by 2% against the USD, the currency’s largest daily drop since its previous drop against the CAD last November. A weak MXN could spell bad news for the US economy, since this will mean that Mexican exports will be more affordable as compared to US exports.
