Interest rates are currently already at an 11-year high and with no signs of the economy cooling are expected to continue to climb.

Mexican Currency Falls On U.S News
The Mexican currency (peso) dropped on concerns that demand for Mexican exports will drop, the fall in the peso came after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke announced a deteriorating U.S. economy.
The fall in the Mexican currency wiped out early gains that were fueled by the expectation that the Mexican central bank will maintain its benchmark interest rate at 7.5% tomorrow.
Investors expect the Peso to bounce back due to the widening gap in the difference between the U.S. and Mexican interest rates, with Mexican assets looking increasingly attractive.

Chinese Currency Forecast To Rise 9% In 2008
The movement in the Chinese currency (the yuan) in January 2008 is equivalent to about a 16% rise on a yearly basis, analysts have already begun to forecast that the Chinese currency could rise up to 9% by the end of the year.
Economic growth in China for 2007 is expected to be reported around the 11.5% mark, with much of that growth coming from cashed up exporters who have invested money into chinese assets.
Beijing is becoming increasingly concerned about domestic inflation, and for good reason, with an 11 year high hit in November 2007. Regulators are concerned that too much money in the financial system is causing the economy to overheat. With cheap Chinese exports far outweighing expensive imports, experts argue that an undervalued exchange rate is the cause of the excess liquidity problem.

Forex Investors price in 50 basis point cut
Gold has slipped a little lower as market players anticipate the Fed’s upcoming interest rate decision. Yesterday’s rally above $930 USD has no doubt caused some profit taking, with other investors positioning themselves in case the anticipated 50 basis point cut from the Fed does not eventuate. Investors remain uncertain as to how much assistance the US central bank will offer the struggling stock market.
Forex investors have already priced in a 50 basis point cut to the value of the USD. Investors expect a 50 basis point cut will see an increase in the value of gold, while a lesser rate cut could see a correction in the price of precious metals.

The Mexican Currency Rally
Mexican Currency rallied today after the Federal Reserve cut U.S. interest rates. Investors were lured by Mexico’s fixed income market yielding 7.5% after the Fed dropped the U.S. rate to 3.5%. With the spread between the yields of the Mexican Currency and U.S. dollar widening Mexican assets are beginning to look a lot more attractive.
This gain of 0.6% in the Mexican Currency comes after a sharp drop of 1% yesterday, the largest decline in five months, as investors fled global stock markets and emerging-market currencies fearing a global recession. The gain was however far from being as promising as the 2.1% advance in the Brazilian Real and the 1.3% jump in the Chilean peso.
