The Mexican peso strengthened against the dollar on Tuesday, trading near 18.67 per dollar after closing Friday at 18.80 in the interbank market. The move came as oil prices fell more than 7% on Monday and investors awaited US midterm election results.
Lower oil prices ease inflation concerns and weigh on energy-linked currencies, while Mexican peso strength lowers the local cost of imported feed ingredients such as corn and soybean meal.
