The Mexican peso lagged on Thursday, with USD/MXN rising from 18.70 to 18.88 before pulling back to about 18.80 even as the US dollar index fell below 94.00. Emerging-market currencies broadly strengthened, while the peso was pressured by weaker crude oil prices and uncertainty over NAFTA talks.
Peso weakness against a broadly softer dollar points to NAFTA-related risk premium, which can affect Mexican feed import pricing and US export demand sentiment for corn and meal.
