The peso rallied on Friday to a nearly four-month high after the new U.S. commerce secretary offered a softer tone on trade talks and as his Mexican counterpart echoed the sentiment that the two sides could reach a mutually beneficial trade deal.

The peso hit a historic low on Jan. 11, after tumbling about 17 . . .
