> Latin American currencies traded mixed as the US dollar strengthened after employment data exceeded expectations. US payrolls rose by 165,000 in October and unemployment fell to 4.1%, lifting market-implied odds of a December Federal Reserve rate increase; the Mexican peso nevertheless gained 0.61%.
