There’s a strange idea circulating among Mexican currency traders. Well, more of a joke really. But there’s a certain logic to it.
It goes like this: Instead of spending its precious reserves of US dollars to prop up the peso, Mexico should just buy Twitter at a cost of about $12bn (£9.8bn) -- and immediately shut it down.
The notion made the rounds this week after the central bank revealed it had already blown through $2bn of reserves in a largely futile effort to prop up the peso which has been devalued by a steady stream of anti-Mexico Tweets from Donald Trump.
