MEXICO
  • USDMXN continues to trade with a downward bias and has extended declines below the significant 18.50 support level.
  • The pair has extended below 18.40 in recent trade which marks the lowest level since April 2018.
  • Price action across Latin American currencies has been very supportive amid the USD index giving up the majority of its overnight advance.
  • Domestic headlines may be acting as an additional Peso tailwind as we approach the weekend close:
  • Tesla has chosen Mexico to expand its operations, and Elon Musk will speak with Mexican President AMLO, Mexico's Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said Friday.
    • Ebrard said the date of the call between Musk and Lopez Obrador would be given later Friday afternoon. He declined to name the specific location for Tesla's Mexico expansion. (Reuters)
