- Banxico holds policy rate at 6.50% as CPI eases to 3.12% y/y
- Remittances hit $5.47 billion in June while IPC drops 0.75%
- USD/MXN steadies at 17.12 with Citi survey seeing year-end 17.90
Yesterday's Recap
Mexican markets digested the latest inflation reading of 3.12% y/y and the absence of any fresh data releases. The IPC Bolsa fell 0.75% to close at 66,438.58 as investors locked in gains after recent nearshoring-driven advances. USD/MXN eased 0.08% to 17.12 while the Mexican short-term rate declined 3.17% to 5.19%.
Remittances reached $5.47 billion in June, extending the five-month streak above $5 billion and supporting peso resilience. The long-term rate jumped 6.42% to 9.45%, reflecting shifting duration positioning. Gold rose 1.91% to $4,445.20, providing a modest hedge for Mexican portfolios.
Traders positioned ahead of the US inflation report, pausing the peso’s recent advance. Nearshoring inflows continued to support export sectors even as global trade frictions persisted, while Bitcoin’s 0.67% gain to $64,337 offered a modest risk-on signal that spilled into local equities.
The Day Ahead
No domestic data prints are scheduled for Mexico on August 11. Attention turns to the US CPI release that will shape near-term USD/MXN volatility and Banxico timing expectations. The Citi Mexico survey released yesterday showed economists forecasting a steady 6.50% policy rate through year-end and USD/MXN at 17.90 by December 2026.
Industrial production and Banxico’s monthly expectations survey are due later in the week and will provide fresh signals on activity and inflation forecasts. Markets will also monitor USMCA-related trade commentary from Washington for any impact on Mexican export sectors. Positioning remains light ahead of the data, keeping intraday moves contained.
WTI crude at $82.20 and Brent at $87.65 offered limited immediate support to energy revenues amid softer China demand signals.
Other Economic Notes
Nearshoring continues to underpin Mexico’s export resilience under the USMCA framework despite global trade frictions. Remittance inflows at $5.47 billion in June highlight sustained household support for consumption even as inflation has moderated. Energy reform discussions remain stalled in Congress, leaving investment timelines uncertain for the power sector.
