However, even though many have sighed in relief, experts are heralding new dramatic spikes in oil prices.
Peak for Pemex could help push Mexico to ruin
Wednesday, Pemex is expected to release historic reduced output numbers. With everything going wrong with Mexico internally, what can the government do about losing revenue from its largest cash cow?
