Mexican peso climbs, stocks rise as markets dismiss possibility of Trump win

[Reuters] - The Mexican peso climbed and stocks crept higher on Monday as markets saw less chance of a victory by Republican nominee Donald Trump in his U.S. presidential bid amid a scandal over comments he made about women. EMini futures for the S&P 500 (ESc1) rose 0.2 percent, as did Australian stocks (.AXJO), while Shanghai (.SSEC) firmed 1.2 percent as markets there returned from a long holiday. Going the other way, Thailand stocks fell 2.9 percent (.SETI) after the palace said in a statement that 88-year-old King Bhumibol Adulyadej's health was in an unstable condition.
