- Mexican peso strengthens to 17.05 versus USD, marking a 25-month high after softer US CPI data reduced near-term Fed hike odds.
- IPC Bolsa rises 0.29% to 65,755.97 amid steady equity inflows tied to USMCA-driven export resilience.

Yesterday's Recap
Mexican markets posted modest gains as the peso extended its rally against the dollar. USD/MXN closed at 17.05, down 0.11%, while EUR/MXN fell 0.19% to 19.67. The IPC Bolsa advanced 0.29% to 65,755.97 on continued foreign buying.
Energy prices weighed on sentiment, with WTI crude dropping 2.04% to 81.57 and Brent falling 1.78% to 87.40. Gold rose 0.79% to 4,443.60, providing a partial offset. Mexico short-term rates eased 3.17% to 5.19%, while long-term yields climbed 6.42% to 9.45%.
No domestic data releases occurred, leaving price action driven by US inflation prints and broader risk sentiment. The peso's move to levels last seen in 2024 reflected reduced expectations for aggressive Fed tightening.
The Day Ahead
Markets enter a data-light session with no scheduled Mexican releases. Attention will center on US retail sales and import price figures that could shift rate expectations. Traders will monitor peso volatility around the 17.00 handle as carry flows respond to any fresh Fed commentary.
Equity desks expect IPC turnover to remain moderate absent corporate earnings catalysts. Nearshoring-related supply-chain updates from USMCA partners may surface in regional trade commentary. Participants will also track oil price swings given Mexico's fiscal exposure to energy revenues.
Other Economic Notes
Mexico's export sector continues to benefit from USMCA preferences as global trade barriers rise elsewhere. Record export growth has supported peso resilience even as domestic activity indicators stay subdued. Nearshoring inflows into manufacturing and logistics are expanding capacity in northern states, though labor and energy infrastructure constraints remain binding.
Broader fiscal accounts show steady oil-related revenues offset by higher debt-service costs amid elevated long-term yields. These dynamics reinforce the peso's role as a regional outperformer within emerging-market FX baskets.
