Analyst Views on Banxico Minutes

MEXICO
  • In JP Morgan’s view, the minutes confirmed that the board pivoted dovishly and is on the watch for additional evidence that it is “prudent” to continue with gradual rate cuts. JPM’s take is that there are three members already leaning dovishly and two hawkish members who continue to advocate a harder line. JPM expect a 25bp cut in August, aided by a more benign external backdrop, in a 4-1 decision at least and possibly unanimously.
  • Goldman Sachs also forecasts a 25bp rate cut in August in a split decision, with the policy rate reaching 10.0% by end-2024. In their assessment, the minutes contain clear dovish undertones and were overall a bit softer than expected. Most directors expect the disinflation dynamics to continue and there is an increasing focus on the softness of recent real activity: the balance of risks for activity is now judged as skewed to the downside for the majority of directors.
  • In Scotiabank’s view, given the loose bias of the minutes, with three members favouring a less restrictive stance going forward, there is a strong chance that the central bank will resume its easing cycle in August if there are no major surprises in the inflation data and if there are more signs of weakening economic activity.
