Superpeso Ends Week Positive: Mexican Peso Strengthens Against US Dollar

The Mexican peso appreciated against the US dollar for the third consecutive day, driven by reduced market nervousness about the US economy and a recent cut in local interest rates. This movement resulted in a notable weekly gain for the peso.

The exchange rate closed the day at 18.8289 pesos per dollar, a significant improvement from yesterday’s rate of 18.9681, according to data from the Bank of Mexico (Banxico). This shift represented a gain of 13.92 cents, or 0.73 percent.

During the day’s trading, the dollar fluctuated within an open range, reaching a high of 18.9220 pesos and a low of 18.7745. The Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the greenback’s strength against six major currencies, declined by 0.07% to 103.14 points.

When compared to its official rate of 19.1624 pesos per dollar last Friday, the peso gained 33.35 cents, or 1.74 percent. The peso’s strength followed a volatile start to the week, during which the exchange rate briefly surpassed 20 pesos per dollar.

Global and Local Influences

The appreciation of the peso was influenced by several global and local factors. The Bank of Japan’s decision to dispel speculation about potential rate cuts alleviated pressure on the exchange rate, as investors unwound carry trade positions. Meanwhile, positive US job data helped temper recession fears, contributing to a more favorable economic outlook.

Analysts noted that the peso also benefited from better-than-expected industrial activity data for June and the recent interest rate cut by Banxico. “The peso regains ground after a surprise monetary policy decision by the central bank,” stated Monex, a financial services firm.

On the domestic front, progress was bolstered by a report from Reuters indicating that a controversial proposal to reform Mexico’s justice system, backed by the Morena government, would be approved with modifications to its most radical and criticized elements.

Looking Ahead

Traders are now turning their attention to upcoming US economic data, including inflation and employment figures, for insights into the health of the world’s largest economy. These indicators will also provide clues about the Federal Reserve’s potential future actions regarding interest rates.

The sustained appreciation of the Mexican peso highlights the currency’s resilience amid a dynamic global economic landscape. As market participants analyze forthcoming economic data, the peso’s trajectory will continue to be shaped by both international developments and domestic policy decisions.
