a tariff war between the world's 2 largest economies plays out. uncertainty from international investors over the u.s. china trade conflict however has also rattled markets on august 1st the mexican stock exchange reacted with the worst trading day since the start of the year but it is because of these terrorist between the united states and china we are seeing this disruption to global financial markets imagine what such a confrontation involving mutual terrorist between the u.s. and mexico would bring this is not good for anyone. this disruption to global markets has also hit the mexican peso which devalued by 1.57 percent on august 1st . not good for a national economy which is only projected to grow by point 2 percent through 2019 is that this economic equilibrium that mexico appears to have is not solid i would say that the economic situation in mexico is shaky at best mexico could maintain

this balance at least until the end of the year but it depends heavily on the policies pursued by president donald trump. earlier this year mexico avoided its own trade war with the united states which could have had a devastating effect on the national economy the reaction by global markets to growing tensions between the u.s. and china puts into question whether mexico really is the clear winner of the ongoing trade war or if there are any real winners at all the dipping the stock prices also serve as a reminder that the mexican economy is subject to the confidence international investors have in the u.s. trying to relate. sure there may be nervousness in the markets but mexican exports the united states are still on the rise as mexico continues to pick up the slack left over from china there is one thing however that could on balance mexico's position the sluggishness of its own economy would up a little and zita mexico city a bahraini activist says he feared for his life after staff beat him for climbing onto the roof of his country's embassy in london during
