Friday and Dollar

peso: Read:Can the rally in Mexico peso take pressure off the country central bank The greenback USDCAD, -0.3468% dipped roughly 1% against the Canadian dollar, with one dollar buying C$1.3172 late Monday, compared with C$1.3297 late Friday, according to Market Watch. The peso and loonie are strengthening as both bookies' odds and pollster models point to probability of a Trump victory; that seems to have more to do with Friday leaks than the second presidential debate, said Elsa Lignos, an RBC senior currency strategist, in a note. The U.S. dollar USDMXN, -0.2813% was down roughly 2% against the peso, buying 18.92 pesos, compared with 19.30 pesos late Friday in New York. On Friday, a 2005 video surfaced in which Trump boasted of groping women and his sexual conquests—including pursuing a married woman. Some commentators, including Market Watch Brett Arends, suggested the Republican candidate performed well in the matchup. On Sunday night, an unbowed Trump dismissed his crude comments about groping women as locker-room talk and sought to shift the focus to former President Bill Clinton infidelities in a no-holds-barred debate with Hillary Clinton.
