# Latam FX rise as dollar steadies; Mexican peso shines

> Most Latin American currencies recovered session losses on Wednesday as the dollar pared gains made after a chaotic US presidential debate. Mexico's peso jumped as much as 2.2%, while Brazil's real gained 0.4% on hopes of conservative spending. Brazil's national debt rose to a record 88.8% of GDP.

## Why it matters

A firmer Brazilian real and peso lower the local-currency cost of imported feed ingredients and can ease pressure on Brazilian and Mexican feed buyers; fiscal concerns in Brazil limit how much the real can strengthen.
