Spain sold €2.6 billion of bonds today. That’s barely above the minimum target. The borrowing costs climbed, while earlier Spain said that public debt will surge to a record this year. The yield on Mexico’s government securities maturing in 2024 increased one basis point to 6.46 percent. The peso also fell as appeal of riskier currencies decreased after the Federal Reserve signaled that it may refrain for quantitative easing.
USD/MXN rose from 12.7824 to 12.8400 as of 13:56 GMT today.

Mexico’s currency exchange commission, which is made up from representatives of the central bank and Finance Ministry, said its going to use $400 million from its $140 billion reserves in case the peso would decline more than 2 percent in one day. The Mexican currency already has slumped 16 percent in the past six months. The Mexican peso is the worst performer among the currencies of Latin America and desperately needs support.
Mexico is not the first emerging economy to be worried about the weakness of its currency and that outlines the interesting difference between emerging economies and developed ones. The developed countries are trying to weaken their currencies, while emerging nations are attempting to support their currencies. The issues are opposite, but the reason for them seems to be the same: the global economic slowdown. The riskier currencies lose their value as investors prefer the safety of the developed nations’ currencies.
