MNI Banxico Preview May 2021.pdf
Banxico's governing board are likely to leave the policy rate unchanged at 4% in a unanimous decision, awaiting further evidence of whether the price pressures prove transitory and if metrics are likely to converge to target. Of more importance will be the quarterly report on June 2nd, at which Banxico may upgrade their 2021 growth forecasts, lessening the need for further stimulus at this stage.
Markets on surer footing
Financial conditions improved since the March meeting. USDMXN is roughly 4% lower, 10-year TIIE swap rates are roughly 5 basis points lower and 5-year CDS spreads narrowed by around 16 basis points to 95bp. However, caution is warranted, especially given the ongoing steepening of the term structure of rates. 10-year TIIE swap rates remain around 150 basis points higher on the year and there has been a consistent decline of overseas ownership of local Mbonos. Governor Díaz de León has assured that this process has been orderly, while highlighting its contribution to prudent policy making.
Headline Inflation Ahead of Expectations
April inflation rose faster than forecast to 6.08% y/y. The core reading was also above the target range at 4.13% y/y. While neither were a significant surprise, the persistence of the upward pressure supports anxieties relating to the price outlook. Short-term inflation expectations have accelerated, with Banxico's most recent survey moving from 4.1% to 4.6% for 2021 year-end inflation and from 3.6% to 3.7% for the core reading.
