Mexico peso rebounds

Published January 6, 2017 Updated January 6, 2017 12:00am

The Mexican peso strengthened on Thursday after the central bank sold dollars to support the ailing currency, which has been battered by uncertainty over US President-elect Donald Trump. The peso firmed as much as 1.5 percent after slumping to a record low on Wednesday. The currency posted its worst yearly performance since 2008 last year on concerns that Trump could enact protectionist policies against Mexico.
