Yesterday's Recap
Markets closed lower on August 30 with the IPC Bolsa falling 0.53% to 65,484.32 as investors digested mixed commodity moves. USD/MXN advanced 0.23% to 17.00 while EUR/MXN eased 0.21% to 19.72. The Mexico long-term rate climbed 6.42% to 9.45% and the short-term rate declined 3.17% to 5.19%.
WTI Crude gained 3.86% to 86.62 but Brent Crude slipped 0.48% to 88.88. Gold rose 0.60% to 4,504.80 and silver added 1.39% to 67.93. No economic data releases occurred yesterday, leaving market moves driven by positioning ahead of the September 1 Business Confidence print and ongoing USMCA trade friction.
Nearshoring equities faced selective pressure amid unresolved rules-of-origin talks.
The Day Ahead
Business Confidence will print at 04:00 ET on September 1 with the prior reading at 48 and no consensus available. Consumer Confidence Index follows on September 3 at the same time, last seen at 45. Traders will watch both surveys for signs of softening sentiment amid elevated US trade uncertainty.
The releases could influence short-term peso flows and Mbono positioning ahead of the next Banxico decision. Liquidity data and any follow-up comments from officials may also surface during the week. Focus remains on whether readings confirm resilience in manufacturing or highlight services weakness seen in recent IGAE figures.
Other Economic Notes
Economy minister statements highlighted Mexico's US trade relationship as the largest challenge of the century, raising focus on USMCA compliance and nearshoring durability. Remittance inflows and auto-component investment announcements continue to support external accounts despite unresolved rules-of-origin disputes. Energy reform discussions in Congress signal potential for greater private power generation, viewed as supportive for medium-term capital expenditure.
Broader activity indicators remain resilient even as services showed recent softness. Two new plants announced in Nuevo León underscore ongoing FDI momentum tied to supply-chain shifts.
