# A Democratic sweep could cap the peso rally: separating the fiscal impulse from Fed-driven dollar strength | AInvest

> Prediction markets give Democrats roughly a two-to-one chance of sweeping the US midterms, which could bring fiscal stimulus and strengthen the dollar. The Mexican peso has nonetheless lost more than 9% against the dollar since September as the yield gap narrows, closing last week at its weakest in about a year.

## Why it matters

A stronger dollar and narrowing rate differentials weaken carry-trade demand for pesos, pressuring USD/MXN higher. Feed buyers importing from Mexico face a weaker peso that could lower Mexican input costs in dollar terms while dollar strength supports US export competitiveness concerns.
