The report will contain updated forecasts for inflation and economic growth, which should echo the information provided within the February MPC statement. Currently the board do not see headline CPI returning to the 3% target until Q3 2026.
  • Perhaps more importantly, Mexico’s Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard is scheduled to meet with the US Commerce Secretary to discuss trade in Washington DC. Security talks will also take place this week.
  • Elsewhere, there are no tier one data releases in the region, and global focus will be on the FOMC minutes.
