The Day Ahead
No Mexico-specific data releases or central bank events are scheduled for today or tomorrow. Traders will monitor any follow-up commentary from Banxico officials on the inflation trajectory. Focus remains on external drivers including U.S.
trade policy signals and global commodity moves. Industrial production and other June indicators are not due until later in the month. Markets are expected to stay range-bound absent fresh catalysts.
Other Economic Notes
Nearshoring activity continues to underpin manufacturing exports despite the lack of fresh monthly figures. Remittances remain a key support for household consumption and the current account. Energy sector reforms show no legislative progress, leaving investment plans on hold.
USMCA-related uncertainty from renewed U.S. comments adds modest volatility to the peso without immediate disruption to trade flows.
Global Macro News
