Mexico Peso Falls to One-Month Low on U.S. Government Shutdown

Mexico’s peso fell to the weakest level in one month on concern a partial government shutdown in the U.S. will slow growth of the Latin American nation’s biggest export market.

The peso depreciated 0.3 percent to 13.1586 per U.S. dollar today in Mexico City, its weakest closing level since Sept. 6. The currency extended its decline this year to 2.3 percent.
