El peso se posiciona y dólar abre a la baja en post elecciones con marcado triunfo de los republicanos

The US midterm elections had an impact not only on politics, but also on the economy. A recent article titled “El peso se posiciona y dólar abre a la baja en post elecciones con marcado triunfo de los republicanos” discusses how the Mexican peso has gained strength against the US dollar following the November 2018 elections in which Republicans held on to their majority control of the Senate.

According to the article, the peso has strengthened due to a potential reduction in political risk, as the US government may be less likely to impose anti-Mexican trade policies. Additionally, the weakened dollar can also be attributed to the election results. The article suggests that the dollar’s decline may have been caused by investors selling the currency in anticipation of reduced economic growth due to a divided government.

As someone who is interested in the intersection of politics and economics, what caught my attention was the article’s discussion of the effects of political events on the value of currencies. While many people tend to focus solely on the political implications of elections, this article highlights some key economic factors that should not be overlooked.

It is important to note that the relationship between politics and economics is complex and multifaceted, and it is necessary to consider how different policies and decisions may affect both of these areas. In this case, the election results in the US have resulted in a momentary strengthening of the Mexican peso, which could have short-term economic benefits for Mexico.

Overall, this article raises interesting questions about the link between politics and economics, and serves as a reminder that we should always keep in mind the potential economic impacts of political events.
