Snapshot - MXN and BRL Lead Global Charge, Awaiting Banxico

LATAM
  • LATAM FX Snapshot: *S&P BOOSTS 2021 GDP VIEW FOR LATAM MAJOR ECOS TO 5.9% VS 4.9%
  • Local currencies leading the global charge with MXN and BRL both up roughly 1.2% on the session. Despite the Bloomberg dollar index being down just 0.15%, emerging market currency indices continue to shine as equity indices continue their ascent.
  • Slow and steady bid for the MXN as we approach the Banxico decision in less than an hour. Local swaps curve seen bear flatter into the decision, potentially pre-empting a more hawkish statement following the higher than expected inflation data earlier.
