MEXICO: Natixis Forecasting 50BP Banxico Cut, Subject to Steady Peso
MEXICO
- Natixis believe Trump could announce tariffs on Saturday, but they continue to believe it would be a negotiating tool. Even if Trump follows through this weekend, Natixis believe he will leave the door open for negotiations with both Mexico and Canada.
- This would suggest that the tariffs would be lifted quickly. If this is confirmed, the MXN should remain stable around 20.50-21.00 before the monetary policy meeting.
- If this is the case, Natixis now believe that Banxico will cut its key rate by 50bp to 9.50% (previously they expected a 25bp cut).
