USD/MXN Update: The Mexican peso keeps recovering and is nearing the 17 pesos per dollar mark
Mexican Peso Gains Momentum Against the US Dollar
As the week gets underway, the Mexican peso is showing notable strength, with the USD/MXN exchange rate dropping by over 1.5% across the last two trading days. This downward trend highlights a renewed preference for the peso over the dollar. The persistent selling of the USD/MXN pair has continued since Banxico's recent policy announcement, further fueled by ongoing short-term softness in the US dollar. If these factors persist, downward pressure on the USD/MXN is expected to remain a key theme in the near term.
On February 5, the Bank of Mexico surprised markets by maintaining its current policy stance during its scheduled meeting, a move that has contributed to the peso's recent rally.
