The tremor revived memories of a 1985 earthquake in Mexico City that killed thousands. Photo: AFPMexico City: Mexico was hit by its strongest earthquake in more than a century, killing dozens of people in southern states and shaking buildings in the capital. Even as natural disasters roil North America, investors in Mexico seem to be maintaining their composure, said Aldo Miranda, an equity sales trader at CI Casa de Bolsa in Mexico City. Hurricane Katia was poised to hit Mexico tomorrow and Hurricane Irma was set to strike Florida late Saturday after levelling small Caribbean islands this week. Cemex SAB, Femsa SAB and Alfa SAB said they had no reports of affected operations.
