Trump at Davos and the Mexican Peso
President Trump’s speech at the Davos Economic Forum did not include details about his tariff plans. However, he urged global business leaders to manufacture in the U.S. to avoid tariffs, which improved market sentiment.
The fact that Trump did not directly threaten Mexico and even acknowledged that the trade deficit with the country remains manageable contributed to the positive sentiment surrounding the Mexican peso.
Trump also addressed his intentions to lower global oil prices, interest rates, and taxes. Since taking office, the Republican president has repeatedly threatened to impose tariffs on key trading partners, including Mexico.
Local Data and Outlook
Today, it was reported that Mexico’s consumer prices moderated more than expected in the first half of January, reaching an annual rate of 3.69%, within the central bank’s target range. Core inflation increased to 3.72%.
Analysts estimate that inflation will continue on a gradual downward trajectory, particularly during the first three quarters of the year. They maintain their year-end forecasts for 2025 at 3.8% for general inflation and 3.7% for core inflation.
