An exchange-traded fund tracking Mexican stocks posted its biggest outflow of money last week since July, the latest stage in a long-term selloff as threats to trade with its North American neighbor mounted.

The $1.1 billion iShares MSCI Mexico ETF, known by its ticker EWW, recorded $142 million in outflows in the week through Dec. 13. The losses brought the reduction in its total value since April to about $1.1 billion.
