# Get used to Mexican peso volatility

> An FT video segment says Mexico is becoming a concern for investors because it sends over 80% of its exports to the US and is exposed to trade tensions. It notes that the peso is the second-best currency performer of the year despite Nafta renegotiation risks. It also flags the July Mexican election, where populist candidate Lopez Obrador leads the polls.
