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.

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.

Experts hope that appreciation in the Chinese currency and depreciation of the U.S. dollar will help cool demands for cheap Chinese exports while giving the Chinese consumer greater buying power to purchase expensive imports. The appreciation of the Chinese currency will also help international Chinese firms buy assets overseas more cheaply.

The appreciation in the Chinese currency will cause difficulties for some businesses who may be forced to switch their core business of exporting to importing. The depreciation in the U.S. dollar is also causing trouble for some businesses who are forced to complete business transactions in U.S. dollars, with businesses forced to offload U.S. dollars quickly as it’s considered safer to keep your money in yuan.

While a falling stock market has been proven to consistently boost the value of gold, the precious metal could find itself under pressure as investors and funds are forced to close profitable positions to cover losses elsewhere.

Mexico sends about 80% of its exports to the U.S. and fears a U.S. recession would decrease demand for exports has limited the Mexican Currencies recovery. However, this fear of declining export demand from the U.S. has eased fears that inflation will get out of control, increasing demand from pension funds for bonds.
