Mexico: reasons to be cheerful, despite the data
Capital Economics reckons the worst of Mexico's annus horribilis is behind it. Share the optimism? Let's see: in terms of economic data this week, industrial production fell by 1.6 per cent (way higher than the 0.4 per cent market consensus) in September. That was dragged down by construction, which crashed 8.3 per cent, its 13th successive monthly fall, but manufacturing was anaemic too.
