MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican peso strengthened against the U.S. dollar Wednesday, even as the dollar maintained its overall strength following the Federal Reserve’s decision to hold steady its key interest rate, which remains in a range between 4.25% and 4.50%.
according to the Bank of Mexico (Banxico),the exchange rate reached 19.6050 pesos per dollar. This represents an gratitude of 0.28%, or 5.48 cents, compared to the previous day’s closing figures.
Felipe Mendoza of ATFX Latam financial markets noted that the market anticipates potential rate cuts as early as July, particularly if signs of economic slowdown emerge. “Although the Fed kept its interest rate unchanged at 4.50%, the market anticipates possible cuts to July, especially if economic deceleration signs materialize. In its statement, the federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) said that economic activity continues to expand at a solid rhythm, although inflation remains high and the risks of greater unemployment have increased,” Mendoza said.
The dollar index (DXY), which measures the dollar’s strength against a basket of six major currencies, rose 0.68% to 99.91. Bloomberg’s dollar index (BBDXY) also increased, adding 0.53% to reach 1,222.75 points.
Citibanamex reported that the dollar was selling for 20.12 pesos at bank windows.
