Trading the Trump Tantrum

Mid-week market update: The stock market sold off today on no apparent fundamental or economic news.

The race had been tightening for several days, but this seemed to be the last straw for the markets, which threw a tantrum in response.

The Mexican peso, which has been an excellent barometer of the presidential race, tanked as a result.
