With a trade kerfuffle bruising investors, assets across emerging markets started the week with more declines.

Mexico’s peso reversed early gains to weaken 1.1 percent against the dollar by 3:11 p.m. in London after 64-year-old leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s landslide election victory, according to the earliest figures announced by officials.
