Mexican weight FAQS


The Mexican weight (MXN) is the most commercialized currency among its Latin American peers. Its value is widely determined by the performance of the Mexican economy, the country’s central bank policy, the amount of foreign investment in the country and even remittance levels sent by Mexicans living abroad, particularly in the United States. Geopolitical trends can also affect MXN: for example, the Nearshoring process (or the decision of some companies to relocate the manufacturing capacity and supply chains closer to their countries of origin) is also considered a catalyst for the Mexican currency, since the country is considered a key manufacturing center in the American continent. Another catalyst for MXN is oil prices, since Mexico is a key exporter of the raw material.


The main objective of the Central Bank of Mexico, also known as Banxico, is to maintain inflation at low and stable levels (in or close to its 3%target, the midpoint of a tolerance band between 2%and 4%). To do this, the bank establishes an adequate level of interest rates. When inflation is too high, Banxico will try to control it by raising interest rates, which makes the indebtedness of homes and companies more cooling, thus cooling the demand and the economy in general. The highest interest rates are generally positive for Mexican weight (MXN), since they lead to higher yields, which makes the country a more attractive place for investors. On the contrary, lower interest rates tend to weaken the MXN.

A strong Mexican economy, based on high economic growth, low unemployment and high confidence is good for MXN. Not only attracts more foreign investment, but it can encourage the Bank of Mexico (Banxico) to increase interest rates, particularly if this fortress is accompanied by high inflation. However, if the economic data is weak, the MXN is likely to depreciate.


As an emerging market currency, the Mexican weight (MXN) tends to rise for periods of risk, or when investors perceive that the general market risks are low and, therefore, are eager to participate in investments that carry a higher risk. On the contrary, the MXN tends to weaken at times of market turbulence or economic uncertainty, since investors tend to sell higher risk assets and flee to the most stable safe shelters.
