Not trading these but thought I would bring these to the attention of the members
MEXX down 25% today
EWW down almost 10%
The Mexican Peso experienced its worst single-day performance in four years following Claudia Sheinbaum‘s victory in the presidential election held on Sunday.
As of 08:15 a.m. in New York, the peso had dropped 3.4%, reaching 17.60 per dollar. This marks the sharpest decline since June 11, 2020, when it fell by 4.1% in a single day.
SPX
Time will tell if this was a good move or not. Bringing these back in to tomorrow. Instead of a roll booking it as a closing a position and then opening a new position.
