The Mexican peso traded at 18.53 per US dollar in thin electronic trading on Monday, a holiday in Mexico, 27 centavos stronger than Friday's close. Other emerging-market currencies such as the Chilean peso and Hungarian forint also gained against the dollar.
A stronger peso lowers the local cost of dollar-priced feed imports such as corn and soybean meal for Mexican buyers. The move is a currency-only price event with no direct change to grain supply or demand.
