USDMXN Extends Advance, Q4 Aggregate Supply And Demand Due

MEXICO
  • The Mexican peso is continuing to underperform on Tuesday on the back of further dollar strength, with USDMXN +0.50% at the time of writing. USDMXN is likely to remain in focus as we approach interest rate decisions in the US and Mexico this week, with Banxico broadly expected to start its easing cycle with a 25bp cut on Thursday. As noted previously, support for USDMXN at 16.6262 has held well. On the upside, initial resistance at 16.8969 has been breached this morning and a clear reversal higher would refocus attention on 17.3860, the Jan 17 high.
  • On the data front, aggregate supply and demand data for Q4 will be released at 1200GMT (0800ET). Meanwhile, the second Mexico Nearshoring Summit starts in Mexico City today. The event will include discussions on how Mexico can guarantee the availability and affordability of energy for manufacturing growth and the future of the automotive industry.
  • In other news, the government is preparing to take control of a quarry and port owned by Vulcan Materials on the Caribbean coast, after long-running negotiations failed to produce a buyer. AMLO said that he expected it to be resolved in the next few days.
