Yesterday's Recap
Markets closed mixed on July 15 with the IPC Bolsa declining 0.17% to 66,399.71 as local equities tracked modest global risk-off sentiment. USD/MXN finished at 17.42, up just 0.01%, showing resilience despite broader EM pressure. EUR/MXN rose 0.42% to 19.98 while WTI crude gained 0.39% to 79.91, providing some support to the peso via energy linkages.
Mexico short-term rate eased 1.29% to 5.36% whereas the long-term rate surged 6.42% to 9.45%, steepening the curve. Gold slipped 0.10% to 4,040.10 and silver fell 0.39% to 56.88. No INEGI releases or Banxico communications occurred, leaving the June 3.37% CPI print as the dominant anchor for rate expectations.
Bitcoin declined 0.80% to 64,192.00 without direct peso spillover. Brent crude edged 0.08% higher to 85.02, reinforcing the energy buffer for external accounts.
The Day Ahead
With the calendar empty of scheduled Mexican data, attention turns to external drivers that could influence MXN flows. Global oil prices and USMCA-related headlines remain the primary variables for the peso. Equity desks will monitor IPC Bolsa technical levels after yesterday’s modest decline.
Cross-border remittances and nearshoring announcements continue to underpin the external accounts. Market participants await any follow-up remarks from Banxico officials on the inflation trajectory. Silver and gold moves may also shape safe-haven demand that indirectly affects MXN crosses.
Other Economic Notes
Nearshoring activity persists as a structural positive for manufacturing investment and the current account. The 3.37% June CPI reading reinforces the view that price pressures have moderated enough to keep policy on hold. Remittance inflows and energy-export revenues provide a buffer against external shocks.
Curve steepening in Mbonos signals markets are repricing term premia rather than near-term easing. Trade relations under USMCA stay stable with no fresh disputes surfacing. Foxconn’s confirmed semiconductor investment in Jalisco adds to the manufacturing pipeline without immediate market reaction.
