Today’s Focus
Mexican stocks rose again on Tuesday 13 October. The S&P/BMV IPC, the main index of the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV), gained 0.33% to 66,965.15 points.
The peso gave back part of Monday’s rally and weakened to 18.37 per US dollar, according to Banco de México data reported by El Financiero. The market is waiting for US consumer-price data on Wednesday, which can shape the Federal Reserve’s next move.
What matters today. Mexico’s index kept rising while US stocks fell, which supports the case for Mexican shares among US investors, even though a weaker peso trims dollar returns.
01 The session in one read
The IPC closed at 66,965.15 points, up 0.33%. EFE reported it as the highest close since 30 July, when the index stood at 67,290.40.
Our RT feed showed a provisional bar of 67,147.36 (+0.60%) at our deadline. We use the official close reported by EFE.
The index extended its run while the currency gave back part of Monday’s strength. Banxico decisions and US inflation will test both.
The variable to watch is whether the IPC can clear the 67,290 July level. The next policy test is Banxico’s November decision.

03 Why it moved: domestic names against a weak Wall Street
Gains came from financial and consumer names such as Quálitas, La Comer, Gentera and Banregio. The IPC rose while US indices closed lower, which EFE called a contrast with Wall Street.
The peso fell 0.63% on Banxico data after a 15-centavo gain on Monday, El Financiero said. El Financiero linked the move to the return of liquidity after the US holiday, with traders waiting for the US inflation reading.
04 The day’s movers
| Stock | Note | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Quálitas | Insurer | +6.10% |
| La Comer | Supermarkets | +3.06% |
| Gentera | Lender | +2.37% |
| Banregio | Bank | +2.33% |
| Cemex | Cement | +2.27% |
| Alsea | Restaurants | +2.23% |
| Banorte | Largest bank | +1.90% |
| Walmex | Retailer | -1.38% |
Banorte and América Móvil also rose in our RT data, by 1.90% and 1.48%. Walmex fell 1.38%.
05 The regional scoreboard
Mexico was one of three Latin American indices to rise on Tuesday. Argentina’s Merval gained 1.45% and Colombia’s COLCAP 1.54%, while Brazil’s Ibovespa fell 1.04% and Chile’s IPSA 0.21%.
In New York, the S&P 500 ended at 7,805.45, down 0.02%. The Dow Jones fell 0.35%.
06 The technical picture and outlook
The IPC is 325 points below the 67,290 level of 30 July. A close above it would be the first since that date.
The peso at 18.37 sits between Monday’s 18.26 and Friday’s 18.41. A move back above 18.41 would reverse the week’s gains.
What Prediction Markets Say
Polymarket, a prediction market, priced no change at Banxico’s November decision at 77.5%, a 25-basis-point cut at 20.1% and a 25-basis-point rise at 3.2%, with US$53,907 traded (read at 8:50 pm ET on 13 October). Kalshi, a US exchange regulated by the CFTC (the US commodities regulator), priced no change at 73% (35,301 contracts traded).
These prices are bets on the central bank’s next move, not forecasts.
Why we show this: prediction markets turn real-money bets into a live probability that moves within minutes of the news, which is why investors, campaigns and newsrooms in the United States now follow them closely. We show them next to polls and official results, never instead of them.
07 What to watch
- US consumer prices: The September reading is due on Wednesday 14 October at 12:30 UTC (8:30 am ET), and RT’s calendar shows a forecast of 3.7% a year, against 3.4% before.
- The 67,290 level: A close above the 30 July high would extend the rally.
- The peso: A move above 18.41 would undo the week’s gains.
- Banxico: Prediction markets favour holding rates in November.
