Other Economic Notes
President Sheinbaum’s plan to restart oil shipments to Cuba highlights Mexico’s energy diplomacy and potential Pemex export gains. Nearshoring continues to support manufacturing FDI with USMCA providing the stable trade framework. High real rates are compressing domestic demand yet fiscal support remains limited given revenue constraints.
Remittance inflows and auto-sector exports remain key buffers for the external accounts.
Global Macro News
Escalating US-China trade bans are redirecting supply chains toward Mexico and boosting nearshoring prospects. The US Federal Reserve’s latest comments kept rate-cut expectations in check supporting a firmer dollar. Global oil prices declined on softer demand signals while silver and gold retreated on stronger real yields.
