No change in our peso/dollar outlook
Genevieve Signoret & Patrick Signoret
Currencies In the four weeks to July 28, the USD/MXN moved inside $1.00=12.94–13.02. We forecast 13.00 for December 2014 but also, some time before then, a volatility episode. The peso in this scenario hits 13.30, then bounces. We think the EUR/USD has overreacted and will stabilize soon at around €1.00=1.35. But risks are tilted toward […]
