“All of the 19 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg are expecting a no-change decision. At the last meeting, Banxico highlighted the exchange rate, the Fed, economic slack and the Budget as key.”

“The underlying economic backdrop in Mexico has developed in line with our expectations and our view on Banxico policy is broadly unchanged – we still expect an easing cycle to begin in Q4 of this year.”

“That said, we now expect a 25bp ‘insurance cut’ from the Fed in July (as well as the 125bp we were already expecting in July) and the odds of an earlier move from Banxico have risen.”

“Furthermore, if it becomes clear that the Fed is going to follow up with further cuts then we may need to add a ‘follow-the-Fed’ element to our projected Banxico policy rate path but this is not yet our base case.”

“We expect USD/MXN to primarily trade a 19.10 to 19.40 range in the next 1-3 months.”
