World shares swung higher and the Mexican peso surged more than two percent on Tuesday, as investors awarded the first U.S. presidential debate to Democrat Hillary Clinton over Republican Donald Trump.

Markets have tended to see Clinton as the candidate of the status quo, while few are sure what a Trump presidency might mean for U.S. foreign policy, international trade deals or the domestic economy.

Snap polls after the debate suggested Clinton had bolstered her chances. She accused Republican Trump of racism, sexism and tax avoidance while the real estate tycoon, making his first run for public office, said Clinton's long years of service represented "bad experience".

Higher the peso, higher the wall.

 

[gofreak]

The wall just got higher cheaper for Mexico.

Don't forget how confident the market was that brexit wasn't going to pass either. Go vote, people. In this case, assuming a positive outcome will only lead to more complacency.

So are the betting market.

As long as Hillary doesn't cough non stop or drop dead she is getting a pass grade.

Trump just made 5 billion in currency speculation.

So a vote for Hillary is a vote for Mexico?

/s, but I'm slightly confused about what exactly the connection/implication is here?

That the US's trade and foreign relations might not be utterly screwed by our next president?

The American dream is coming, boys!!

I assumed that would lead to a rise in the dollar (or, equivalently, a drop in everything else)?

As far as I understand it, Clinton is seen as safe and stable, while a Trump presidency is seen as unpredictable. They don't want to invest money into something that's unpredictable, so the shares going higher means investors think a Clinton win is more likely after the debate.

thanks, Hillary

They literally just opened a Torchy's Tacos down the street. It's a taco truck chain. Dead serious.

 

[El-Suave]

Concrete and cement stocks are probably down though, the wall building industry took a hit.

We aren't stupid and don't have a direct democracy vote on important matters.

I'd love to believe that, but Trump is apparently considered a viable candidate by a large percentage of the US :/

 

[Laieon]

Will you all stop posting pictures of tacos?

I live in Korea, that shit's hard to find here.

Believe it or not Trump was the best choice out of the all the awful Republican candidates.

Really? At risk of getting too OT, why?

Really he is for the best ... assuming he loses in the end. He is a clown, the rest of the bunch would have done some serious damage. Not to mention Clinton would have trouble against someone from team R that's actually able to discuss the issues.

Asia don't like Mexican.

They must love trump then!

Don't spill out racist shit like that. Also, don't derail the thread.

[Renekton]

Man I can't get a taco here either without going to some overpriced posh Mexican restaurant with cheesy Spanish folk music.

 

[jmdajr]

The Trump is who we thought he was, and we can't let him off the hook.

Let's not crown his ass.
