USDMXN At Support, Hovers Above Moving Average Cluster

MEXICO
  • Mexico's government claimed Tuesday that it is leading a transition to more renewable energy, even though President AMLO is pushing to restrict private wind and solar projects.
  • In a statement following a visit by U.S. climate envoy John Kerry, Mexico said it was seeking to cooperate with the United States on renewable energy. But many of the wind and solar electrical plants that López Obrador wants to limit were built by U.S. or Spanish firms. (AP)
  • The future surrounding the electricity reform appears uncertain, with the lower house expecting to vote on it in December. Analysts continue to believe the polices could endanger Mexico's compliance with existing carbon reduction commitments. The president maintains that increased hydroelectric capacity will allow Mexico to meet those goals.
  • MXN will likely be driven by broader risk-sentiment in the short-term and has outperformed in recent sessions amid a more positive sentiment backdrop. USDMXN resides around the September 20 high at 20.20 and just above a cluster of moving averages, highlighted below.
  • Nothing on the economic data front, however, Citibanamex Survey of Economists will be released
