# Peso Advances After Democratic Win in US Midterm Elections

> The peso traded at 18.66 per dollar, up about 0.9%, recovering part of a 1.4% drop in the previous session. Democrats took control of the Senate and House, and the dollar retreated as the euro and pound rose to near two- and seven-week highs. Investors also weighed possible stricter AI regulation and its effect on data-center spending.
