USD/MXN drops almost 3% after hitting all-time highs
FXStreet (Córdoba) - On a volatile day in the forex market, the Mexican peso is among the best performers after rising sharply during the American session.
USD/MXN climbed earlier to 17.33 hitting a new record high but then turned sharply to the downside, falling almost 3% from the top. Recently printed a new daily low at 16.84. It was trading at 16.86, down 1.45% for the day, headed toward the first daily loss in a week.
After a terrible start, Latin-American currencies managed to recover. The Brazilian real also reached a new record low versus the US dollar but then rebounded sharply: USD/BRL peaked at 4.24 and then dropped to 4.05. The Chilean peso, also showed the same behavior, USD/CLP hit a multi-year high at 709.75 and then retreated below 700.
Greenback remains strong in the region but today’s retreat could signal some USD exhaustion in the very short term.
