The Mexican peso is appreciating against the dollar and the euro. LATAM currencies looking strong.
The Mexican currency is advancing ahead of the release of a series of key data in the United States this week, including the PCE price index, which is crucial for the Federal Reserve.
The spot exchange rate stands at 17.0640 units per dollar. Compared to the official record of 17.0894 units from yesterday’s close of the Banco de México (Banxico), the movement represented an advance for the currency of 2.54 cents, equivalent to 0.14 percent.The price of the dollar moves within a narrow range with a maximum of 17.1105 units and a minimum level of 17.0455 units. The Dollar Index (DXY), from the Intercontinental Exchange, which measures the US currency against six references, goes up 0.11% to 103.882 points.
Traders are opting for caution as they await new data on prices (the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index) in the United States, which will be released on Thursday and are significant for the Fed.
On the local front, traders are anticipating the quarterly report from the Bank of Mexico, scheduled for release on Wednesday. Its contents will provide an update on the central bank’s expectations regarding inflation, GDP, and interest rates, following the latest data.
From a technical standpoint, the currency has remained stable in recent sessions but has been unable to break the support level of 17 units. This could lead to a rebound towards the resistance zone, at around 17.25 units per greenback. Breaking the 17-peso barrier appears challenging, and there’s a risk that further pressure may be exerted in the coming days, testing the 200-day average at 17.25, as it has done in previous rebounds.
Other currencies such as the Colombian peso and the Brazilian real appreciated by approximately 0.5% against the dollar today, marking a solid day for Latin American currencies.
