IMF Executive Board Concludes the 2017 Article IV Consultation with Mexico
November 13, 2017--On November 8, 2017, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Concluded the Article IV consultation with Mexico.[1]
The Mexican economy has exhibited resilience in the face of a complex external environment.
Output has continued to grow at a moderate pace while inflation has temporarily risen above the central bank's target. The flexible exchange rate is playing a key role in helping the economy adjust to external shocks. Fiscal consolidation is on track, monetary policy has maintained a tight stance, and financial supervision and regulation remain strong. The ambitious program of structural reforms is starting to bear fruit, although its full impact will take time to materialize.

There were plenty of reasons cited for why equities might have declined including being at the how the sausage is made part of the tax reform legislation to the decline in high yield (more below on that) and if you scour your favorite social media feed you might find a few other reasons but sometimes, markets just go down for no real reason at all, they just do.
