USDMXN Tests Key Psychological Support at 18.50

MEXICO
  • Despite the initial spike in the greenback, markets were quick to reverse the initial sentiment following the US inflation data.
  • USDMXN is trading close to unchanged on the day, however, the pair has briefly traded below 18.5080, the Feb 2 low. The psychological 18.50 level has held for now.
  • The overall trend outlook remains bearish, and a key short-term resistance has been defined at 19.2906, the Feb 6 high where a break is required to threaten the downtrend and highlight a reversal.
  • On the downside, key support and the bear trigger is at 18.50, a break of which resumes the technical downtrend. Below here we have, 18.4050 as initial support, however, more significant support is further out at 17.9401, the 2018 lows.
  • As noted, there are no major economic data releases in Mexico this week and therefore the primary driver will be overall greenback/EMFX sentiment.
