The US Dollar nears the 13.13 level versus the Mexican Peso.

An incredible rise of the US Dollar versus the Mexican Peso after the inflation data out of the United States came out higher than expected, raising the odds of seeing more stimulus cuts by the FED and probably having an interest rate hike sooner than expected. The economic stimulus that the FED had been implementing has helped emerging market currencies like the Mexican Peso and the Brazilian Real, but now that that stimulus is being cut down, these currencies are feeling the heat and have been dropping versus the greenback substantially.

As we can see on the daily chart below of the USD/MXN, the pair is getting closer to the 13.1300 psychological level, which has been a very good resistance in the past. A visit to that level may give us a bounce to the downside and if that happens and the pair retraces back to the 200 Day Exponential Moving Average, blue line, then we may see a bounce to the upside from there.
