Yesterday's Recap

Mexican markets closed lower on Monday with the IPC Bolsa declining 0.82% to 67,705.37 amid profit-taking in nearshoring names. USD/MXN fell 0.14% to 17.33 while EUR/MXN dropped 0.20% to 19.84, reflecting modest peso support from softer U.S. data.

WTI crude fell 1.83% to 75.20 and Brent declined 0.96% to 79.08, weighing on energy-linked equities. Mexico's short-term rate held at 5.36% while the long-term rate jumped to 9.45%. Bitcoin rose 2.08% to 64,553.67, providing little offset to local equity weakness.

No domestic data prints occurred, leaving price action driven by external flows and positioning ahead of the June 25 decision.

The Day Ahead

Banxico is scheduled to announce its policy rate on Thursday at 11:00 ET with the prior setting at 6.5%. Markets will parse the statement for any shift in forward guidance on inflation convergence. Friday brings the May trade balance at 04:00 ET, following a prior surplus of 4.52 billion USD.

Limited additional releases leave the rate decision as the dominant driver for short-end Mbonos and USD/MXN. Positioning remains light with participants awaiting clarity on the terminal rate path.

Other Economic Notes

Nearshoring inflows continued with Q1 FDI reaching record levels concentrated in manufacturing. Mexico's tariffs on Chinese heavy trucks have slowed import growth according to AMDA data, supporting local producers. Remittances posted another record in May, bolstering household consumption and the current account.

USMCA rules-of-origin disputes persist without derailing investment flows into northern states. Broader tourism initiatives across the Americas highlight Mexico's push to diversify growth beyond autos and energy.

Global Macro News

The Bank of Japan lifted its policy rate to 1%, the highest since 1995, supporting carry trades that favor the peso. Bank of Canada cut rates amid softening domestic demand, easing pressure on North American yields. U.S.

Global Macro News (continued)

AI-related spending continues to fuel inflation concerns, keeping Treasury yields elevated and supporting USD/MXN ranges. Canada imposed a 10% tariff on certain canned vegetable imports excluding Mexico and the U.S., preserving USMCA preferences. Global safe-haven flows lifted gold modestly while silver held gains on industrial demand.

Emerging-market currencies showed mixed performance as divergent central-bank paths widened yield differentials.

Banxico Watch

Banxico maintains the policy rate at 5.36% with the committee focused on anchoring inflation expectations near target. Recent communications have stressed data dependence without committing to a specific easing sequence. The upcoming June decision will test whether the board views core disinflation as sufficiently entrenched.

Forward guidance continues to highlight risks from global energy prices and domestic demand resilience. Markets price only modest cuts by year-end, consistent with the inverted Mbono curve. Any hawkish tilt in the statement could support the peso and compress term premiums at the long end.
