MXN On Front Foot, February Gross Fixed Investment Data Due

MEXICO
  • USDMXN sits down 0.25% around 16.95, broadly in line with further greenback weakness on Friday, as we await the key employment data from the US. Lower yields in the US and the local market holiday on Wednesday prompted a large adjustment for TIIE swap rates during yesterday’s session, with 10-year TIIE roughly 23bps lower. At a local level, the latest Banxico survey of expectations saw a moderate increase for 2024 year-end headline CPI, however, core metrics were revised lower.
  • Shortly before the US figures, Mexico’s statistics institute will publish data on gross fixed investment for February. Data is due at 1300BST/0800ET:
    • Feb. Gross Fixed Investment SA MoM, est. -0.1%, prior 0.1%
    • Feb. Gross Fixed Investment NSA YoY, est. 12.7%, prior 15.3%
    • Feb. Private Consumption YoY, est. 5.2%, prior 2.9%
  • Separately, constitutional reforms pitched by Mexico President AMLO are a threat to judicial independence, violate international legal standards and undermine democracy, three law and advocacy groups said Thursday.
