Bloomberg reports that Rodado expects the peso, seen as a proxy for global risk aversion, to fall to 20 per dollar by year-end from 18.99 now as investors look beyond the election toward the next big event.

After Trump, any number of shocks could send investors scrambling to short the peso again to hedge their emerging-market portfolios.
