Yesterday's Recap

Mexican markets moved on external drivers after a data-empty session. The IPC Bolsa advanced 0.58% to close at 63,873.32, supported by gains in silver and bitcoin that offset sharp drops in crude oil. USD/MXN declined 0.37% to 17.18 and EUR/MXN fell 0.44% to 19.69, reflecting peso strength against both the dollar and euro.

The Mexico 5Y government yield rose 35 bp to 9.00%, the largest daily increase in recent weeks, while the 10Y tenor went unreported. WTI crude fell 5.57% to 96.23 and Brent dropped 5.93% to 98.60, weighing on energy-related equities. Gold edged up 0.46% to 4,420.10 and silver jumped 2.94% to 67.39, providing some offset in commodity exposure.

Bitcoin rose 2.03% to 77,955.08, adding to risk-on sentiment in local assets. The absence of any domestic releases meant price action tracked global policy shifts and commodity volatility rather than local indicators.

The Day Ahead

September 18 brings no scheduled Mexican data releases or Banxico speeches. Traders will monitor global equity and commodity flows for direction in the absence of local catalysts. The quiet calendar leaves peso and yield movements exposed to external policy signals and U.S.

data surprises. Market participants are expected to focus on follow-through from the prior day’s 35 bp yield spike and peso appreciation. Positioning ahead of the weekend may keep volumes light and volatility contained unless new global headlines emerge.

Attention will likely stay on how the stronger peso interacts with lower oil prices and whether the 5Y yield move sustains or reverses.

Other Economic Notes

The 35 bp jump in the 5Y yield to 9.00% signals tighter financial conditions even as Banxico holds its policy rate at 6.50%. Peso strength against the dollar and euro occurred alongside falling oil prices, highlighting the currency’s sensitivity to global risk sentiment rather than domestic growth data. Nearshoring-related capital flows remain a structural support for Mexican assets, yet the lack of fresh USMCA or remittance figures leaves that channel untested this week.

Other Economic Notes (continued)

Broader commodity weakness, especially in crude, could pressure fiscal revenues tied to energy exports if the decline persists. The combination of higher local yields and a firmer peso may influence corporate borrowing costs and equity valuations in the near term.

Global Macro News

The Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time since 2023, citing persistently high inflation and overriding calls for cuts. The Bank of Japan lifted rates to a 31-year high, adding to the global tightening wave and supporting carry-trade unwinds that can affect emerging-market currencies. Hong Kong’s monetary authority followed the Fed move, reinforcing synchronized policy pressure across Asia and the Americas.

ECB Governing Council member Gabriel Makhlouf highlighted ongoing uncertainty around inflation and growth, keeping markets alert to further euro-area signals. The Philippine peso’s weakness at record lows illustrates broader emerging-market currency stress that could influence regional capital allocation away from Mexico. These external shifts arrive as Mexican yields adjust higher, tightening the external financing backdrop for local borrowers.

Banxico Watch

With the policy rate steady at 6.50%, Banxico’s forward guidance continues to emphasize data dependence amid global tightening. The committee’s recent communications have stressed vigilance on inflation convergence without providing fresh numerical targets or timing for adjustments. ↓ p.3

Continuation

Banxico Watch (continued)

The 35 bp rise in the 5Y yield to 9.00% has steepened the local curve, potentially signaling market anticipation of slower easing than previously priced. Peso appreciation on the day occurred without new Banxico commentary, suggesting external factors dominated pricing. Market participants now watch for any follow-up remarks from board members that could clarify tolerance for the stronger currency or the impact of higher global rates on domestic inflation dynamics.

Absent immediate speeches, the central bank’s stance remains anchored to its last published assessment of balanced risks.
