MEXICO

    • Notable technical breach below the 50-day EMA, however, bullish peso momentum appears lacking amid the lingering risks to global growth.
  • GDP likely rose 1.5% in 2Q from a year earlier with the median surveyed estimate comparing with the central bank’s projection of 1.2% in its June quarterly report. It is consistent with quarter-on-quarter growth rising 0.9% from 1.0% prior.
    • Services should account for most of the quarter-on-quarter advance, in line with waning headwinds from the pandemic and recovering household consumption.
  • 1800BST/1300ET: Finance Ministry to release report on 2Q finances and hold a press conference.
  • Pemex reported a record profit in Q2 of 131.5 billion pesos ($6.45 billion) as international oil prices surged, even though crude output continued to wane.
