1413 GMT - The cost of insuring Mexican sovereign debt against default trades close to its highest in ten weeks following the U.S. announcement on 25% tariffs on all auto imports. Mexico is the largest automotives exporter to the U.S. according to S&P Global Mobility data. "Given that the tariffs offer virtually no leeway to the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) partners, Mexico faces tough economic circumstances," Societe Generale's Dev Ashish says in a note. The five-year Mexican credit default swap spreads rose to 134 basis points late Wednesday and trade just shy of that level, at 133 basis points on Thursday, S&P Global Market Intelligence data show.
