Mexican Peso and Stock Market Edge Higher with Caution After U.S. Data
The dollar closed yesterday at 18.35 MXN following U.S. jobless claims and the Fed meeting. The U.S. Dollar Index rose to 97.39 points by the U.S. session close.
USD/MXN gained 0.07% over the past 24 hours, while Mexico’s IPC fell 0.44% to 61,324 points. The peso met resistance at its 50-day moving average of 18.42 MXN and found support at 18.30 MXN.
On the stock exchange, Banorte led losses with a 1.38% drop to 183.99 MXN, and Grupo México declined 1.27% to 133.37 MXN. Among gainers, América Móvil rose 0.82% to 18.45 MXN, and Walmex added 0.75% to 68.12 MXN.
Trading volume reached 127,500 CFD contracts, 25% below the monthly average. The USD/MXN daily RSI stood at 61, indicating a neutral momentum.
The daily MACD histogram narrowed, signaling weaker upward momentum. On the four-hour chart, the MACD showed an early bullish crossover but traded on low volume, suggesting consolidation.
Bollinger Bands widened after volatility surged around the Fed meeting. The Global Liquidity Index (yellow line) fell from 30 to 29.8, highlighting reduced risk appetite for global assets.
Technically, the market awaits today’s Banxico guidance to validate expectations for local monetary policy. Key levels to watch include peso support at 18.30 MXN and IPC resistance at 61,350 points.
These moves reflect a global tilt toward dollar strength after stronger-than-expected U.S. labor data, while Mexico’s stable inflation and slowing industrial output temper the peso’s adjustment.
