Peso, Loonie Spike After NAFTA Discussions End With “Success”… Delay Until 2018

By Kurt Osterberg · On October 17, 2017

NAFTA negotiators said they “successfully completed” Round 4 of their discussions… adding that talks will be extended past the end-2107 deadline (odd definition of success?). Nevertheless, this seems to have appeased the FX markets as both the peso and loonie are spiking…

*NAFTA NEGOTIATORS SAY THEY SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED ROUND 4

*NAFTA MINISTERS SAY MEXICO TO HOST ROUND 5 NOVEMBER 17-21

*NAFTA MINISTERS EXTEND PERIOD BETWEEN ROUND 4 AND ROUND 5

*NAFTA MINISTERS SAY NEW PROPOSALS HAVE CREATED CHALLENGES, GAPS

*FREELAND: NAFTA HAS BEEN GOOD FOR MILLIONS IN ALL THREE NATIONS

*NAFTA MINISTERS SAY MORE ROUNDS TO BE SCHEDULED THROUGH Q1 2018

And the dollar is being sold…
