Mexico's central bank is expected to raise its benchmark rate by 50 basis points to 5.25 percent after the peso hit a record low following Donald Trump's election. The peso had its biggest two-day loss since 1995 and has fallen more than 6 percent since the last hike in September.
A weaker peso raises import costs and inflation in Mexico, a major buyer of U.S. feed grains and meal, which can dampen Mexican demand and pressure U.S. export prices. Tighter Mexican policy also reflects the currency stress tied to NAFTA risk.
