This article is for subscribers only.
Mexico’s peso dropped to a two-year low after the central bank said the outlook for Latin America’s second-biggest economy worsened and as crude oil tumbled, damping export revenue.
The currency declined 1.4 percent to 14.3591 per dollar at 4 p.m. in Mexico City, the biggest drop since August 2013 and the weakest closing level since May 2012. On the week, the peso lost 3 percent, the most among 16 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
