3. Peso says no knockout for Clinton: The Mexican peso has emerged as an unlikely gauge of Donald Trump's presidential aspirations, losing its value when the Republican candidate's electoral chances improve.
The currency's movements reflect investors' fears that the relationship between Mexico and the U.S. -- political and economic -- could be ruptured if Trump moves to the White House.
So who won the second debate? The peso jumped as much as 2% against the dollar going into the event. But by the end, it had given up some of those gains, suggesting investors saw no clear winner from the bitter verbal showdown.
Clinton maintains an overall lead in the peso poll -- it's jumped 4.8% since hitting an all-time low just before the first debate.
