Bi-Weekly CPI Expected To Have Eased To 5.66% Y/y

MEXICO
  • CPI Day: USDMXN holds a fairly narrow range overnight and notably still above last Friday's break level at 20.25 that is immediate support. Inflation in the first two weeks of August likely fell to 5.66% from 5.86% in the second half of July, remaining above the ceiling of the 3.0% +/- 1 percentage point target.
