Comments from Mexican presidential election winner Lopez-Obrador

  • There will be fiscal discipline, no deficit and the government won't raise taxes

  • Will have a frank dialogue with the US and seek better relations

  • Majority of cabinet designated during election will take their posts

  • Says he will not use the presidential plane

  • Says his children will not form part of his government

Lopez-Obrador, known as AMLO, won 53.6% of the vote, crushing the second place winner who had 22.6%. Trump said he intends to hold off on signing a NAFTA deal until after the US midterm elections.

The Mexican peso has bounced around today but USD/MXN is currently higher. Overall, the volatility is modest, suggesting this was priced in.
