Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – The Mexican peso started the week on a positive note, recovering after three consecutive sessions of losses. The local currency is benefiting from a retreat in the U.S. dollar as investors brace for significant monetary policy updates.
As of today, the spot exchange rate stands at 20.3215 pesos per dollar, marking a gain of 17.04 cents or 0.83% compared to Friday’s official close of 20.4919 units, according to data from the Bank of Mexico (Banxico).
The U.S. dollar is trading within a range, reaching a high of 20.4454 units and a low of 20.2478 units against the peso. The Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, has declined by 0.75% to 106.75 points.
This week, investors are keenly awaiting the release of minutes from the latest monetary policy meetings of both Banxico and the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed). These documents are expected to provide insights into the future trajectory of interest rates.
“Today, the peso is favored by the decline of the dollar, cutting part of last week’s losses, while awaiting the release of a fairly relevant weekly economic agenda, highlighting the minutes of Banxico and the Fed,” said Monex Grupo Financiero in a note.
The anticipated policy minutes come at a critical time when global markets are closely monitoring central banks for cues on economic support measures and interest rate adjustments.
