The Mexican peso is fumbling around

The Mexican peso has been fumbling between down 0.1% to 0.2% during the third presidential debate.

The currency has been down by 0.2% to 18.5510 per dollar as of 9:47 p.m. ET.

The peso has become considered to be something of a gauge on Trump's prospects in the campaign.

The currency previously strengthened against the greenback during the first debate, and also after footage taped in 2005 showed the Republican presidential nominee boasting about being able to "grab" women "by the p---y" because "when you're a star they let you do it."

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are currently in the midst of the third and final presidential debate.
