Yesterday's Recap
Mexican equities posted modest gains as the IPC Bolsa closed 0.40% higher at 68,482.94, supported by selective buying in nearshoring-related industrials. The peso remained steady, with USD/MXN easing 0.01% to 17.21 and EUR/MXN slipping to 19.95. Fixed-income markets showed divergence, as the short-term rate declined 1.29% to 5.36% while the long-term rate surged 6.42% to 9.45%.
Commodity prices were mixed, with WTI Crude down 0.11% at 75.97 and Brent Crude advancing 0.85% to 79.63. Gold rose 0.30% to 4,344.00, providing some safe-haven support amid broader market caution. No high-impact data releases occurred, leaving market moves driven primarily by positioning ahead of global events.
Bitcoin declined 1.30% to 64,745.99, showing limited spillover to Mexican assets.
The Day Ahead
Markets enter a data-light session with no scheduled Mexican releases or Banxico speeches. Participants will monitor ongoing USMCA consultations and any updates on tariff revenue flows from bilateral trade. Equity flows may remain subdued as investors await clearer signals on nearshoring project timelines.
Currency traders are likely to keep USD/MXN in a tight range around 17.21 absent fresh catalysts. Attention could shift to global crude prices given their influence on Mexico’s fiscal accounts and PEMEX metrics.
Other Economic Notes
SME financing constraints continue to limit formalization rates, with roughly 80% of new firms failing within two years due to capital shortages. Nearshoring-related FDI announcements have sustained momentum in northern states despite USMCA renegotiation uncertainty. Remittance inflows remain supportive for household consumption and peso liquidity.
Broader infrastructure and energy policy discussions are deferred until the September legislative session, reducing near-term legislative risk.
Global Macro News
The United States collected $23 billion in tariff revenue from Mexican exports over the past year, underscoring persistent trade friction as USMCA talks resume. <i>↓ p.2</i>
