EMERGING MARKETS-Brazil's real steady, Mexico peso drops amid uncertainty

Nov 13 (Reuters) - Brazil's real was steady on Tuesday against a weaker U.S. dollar, while the Mexican peso extended losses from the last session amid uncertainty surrounding the incoming government's policies. The real edged lower, while stocks in Sao Paulo fell as a decline in oil prices hit energy stocks. Mexico's peso weakened and hit its lowest in a week and a half. The currency and Mexican stocks had declined in the previous session on investor worries over the policy proposals of incoming president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's administration.
