We estimate a regression of weekly returns on the MXN spot exchange rate on five variables: a basket of commodity currencies, US equities, the 10-year US bond yield, the two-year interest rate differential between MXN and USD swaps, and RealClearPolitics polling average for Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential election. The estimated equation is RON = bo + by RO + bz *RPP™ + bstdy”? + ba — °°) + bs*RCP + @ where A” is the MXN spot return, A" is the commodity currency basket spot return, RO” is the SP500 index return, dy’’ is the 10-year US bond yield change, ““ - 7°’ is the two-year swap rate differential (lagged one period), ACP is RealClearPolitics polling average for Donald Trump, and eis an error term. The commodity currency basket consists of BRL, CLP, COP, CAD, NOK and AUD with equal weights. The full data sample has weekly frequency and runs from 6/20/2012 to 9/21/2016. The model without Trump yields an R-squared coefficient of 0.50. Including Trump’s variable increases the coefficient to 0.63, a significant improvement (Chart 2). We use data only up to 1/27/2016 for parameter estimation of the financial variables. We use the full sample to estimate the parameter on Trump’s variable due to its shorter history.

Chart 2 shows the possible magnitude of the Trump effect on the Mexican peso. The model including Trump’s polling average appears to do a much better job at explaining the recent behavior of the Mexican peso. However, it still suggests that the currency has depreciated more than justified by Trump’s increase in recent polls. Based on Trump’s increase to 43.9% (RealClearPolitics polling average on 21 September) from 39% (RealClearPolitics polling average on 29 June), our model suggests the Mexican peso should be trading at around 18.50, still almost 7% stronger than current levels. This, however, does not necessarily mean that MXN has oversold. The almost 5% gain in Trump’s polling average since June could have had an outsized effect on MXN if those gains took place in swing states, potentially leading to crucial Electoral College votes. Strategy: neutral MXN for now From a strategy standpoint, we recommend staying neutral the Mexican peso for now. We believe the Mexican peso would likely strengthen significantly if Hillary Clinton wins the US election. But there is still significant uncertainty. Net speculative long USD/MXN positions are somewhat stretched, but could increase much more (Chart 3). jes Bankof America 2 Liquid Insight | 22 September 2016 Merrill Lynch

Alan Dershowitz tweets accusations of perjury against [REDACTED - Survivor] and Sarah Ransomme, cites Secret Service records on Al Gore and mentions alleged sex tapes of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump

Alan Dershowitz tweets accusations of perjury against [REDACTED - Survivor] and Sarah Ransomme, cites Secret Service records on Al Gore and mentions alleged sex tapes of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump The passage provides a concrete claim by a high‑profile attorney that secret service records disprove a story linking Al Gore to Epstein’s island, and it references alleged sex tapes involving two former presidents. While the tweet itself is unverified and lacks supporting documentation, it points to potential secret‑service documentation and possible perjury by named individuals, which could merit follow‑up. However, the lack of direct evidence, dates, or transaction details limits its immediate investigative utility. Key insights: Dershowitz names [REDACTED - Survivor] and Sarah Ransomme as perjury accusers.; Claims Secret Service records show Al Gore never visited Epstein’s island.; Alleges Sarah Ransomme possesses sex tapes of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

Alleged sealed deposition claims ties to CIA hack, Russian/Anonymous assistance, and compromising material on Clinton, Trump, Prince Andrew

Alleged sealed deposition claims ties to CIA hack, Russian/Anonymous assistance, and compromising material on Clinton, Trump, Prince Andrew The passage references a sealed deposition that allegedly contains explosive claims of foreign intelligence (Russia), hack‑by‑the‑CIA, and compromising media on high‑profile political figures. While the source is a plaintiff’s counsel and the details are unverified, the names (Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew) and alleged involvement of intelligence agencies make it a potentially valuable lead for further document review and source verification. Key insights: Sealed deposition (M6) allegedly includes detailed sexual allegations involving Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Donald Trump, and Richard Branson.; Plaintiff claims she received help from "the Russians" and the hacker group Anonymous after a CIA‑linked email hack.; Alleged statement that Hillary Clinton sent "Special Agents Forces Men" to intimidate a friend during the 2016 campaign.
