Yesterday's Recap
Mexico reported a Business Confidence Index reading of 48.0 for June, up from 47.5 in the prior month and reflecting incremental gains in manufacturing and services outlooks. Equity markets closed lower with the IPC Bolsa declining 0.12% to 66,888.76 as foreign flows rotated toward higher-yielding assets elsewhere. The peso weakened modestly, sending USD/MXN 0.22% higher to 17.51 while EUR/MXN advanced 0.11% to 19.95.
Short-term Mexican rates eased 1.29% to 5.36%, but the long-term rate surged 6.42% to 9.45%, widening the spread and signaling investor caution on duration. WTI crude fell 0.85% to 68.91 and Brent dropped 1.28% to 71.99, weighing on energy-linked names within the index. Gold and silver posted strong gains of 1.74% and 1.40% respectively, providing limited support to precious-metals exposure in Mexican portfolios.
No Banxico speakers appeared and markets interpreted the data as neutral for near-term policy.
The Day Ahead
The next Mexican data point arrives on 3 July with the Consumer Confidence Index release, expected to show whether household sentiment has kept pace with the modest business improvement. Traders will monitor any revisions to June inflation prints and peso positioning ahead of the long weekend. USMCA review discussions continue in Washington with officials from all three nations assessing extension options before the July deadline passes without formal action.
Infrastructure financing talks between the Sheinbaum administration and BlackRock, KKR and Macquarie remain active, potentially unlocking new project pipelines later this quarter. No Banxico speakers are scheduled through the holiday period.
Other Economic Notes
Nearshoring momentum persists with additional semiconductor suppliers expanding capacity in Chihuahua, supporting industrial output and formal employment. Remittances reached a fresh record of $6.1 billion in May, up 4.8% year-over-year and providing a steady current-account buffer. Energy-reform legislation remains stalled in Congress with little prospect of material progress before year-end.
