Mexican Peso Strengthens Ahead of U.S. CPI and Banxico Rate Decision

The Mexican Peso (MXN) appreciated against the U.S. Dollar (USD) on Tuesday, supported by a rebound in global risk sentiment as investors await key macroeconomic releases. The USD/MXN pair traded around 19.578, down 0.30% intraday, reflecting the market’s growing confidence in emerging market currencies ahead of pivotal economic events.

Investor focus is firmly on Tuesday’s release of the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is expected to show stable inflation. This could significantly influence the market’s expectations for the Federal Reserve’s future rate decisions and, consequently, the direction of the dollar.

At the same time, traders are preparing for the Bank of Mexico’s (Banxico) monetary policy announcement scheduled for Thursday. Any shifts in Banxico’s rate stance could further impact the USD/MXN exchange rate in the near term.

Despite the peso’s recent strength, USD/MXN continues to hover above key trendline resistance, with investors watching for clear signals from upcoming data to determine the next directional move.
