Forex markets were also reeling from the downturn in the Mexican market, as the peso yesterday went to record lows, on growing concerns over President-elect Trump's now confirmed plans to build a wall to protect the U.S. from the influx of illegal aliens from Mexico, as well as to renegotiate NAFTA, and ensure more manufacturing jobs stay in the U.S., rather than flee overseas.

"Mexico has taken advantage of the United States," said Trump, during his presser at Trump Tower in Manhattan. "It's not going to happen anymore."
