墨西哥比索兑美元汇率超过20.4,从2022年3月以来的最低水平20.64反弹,因为投资者在评估劳动力市场数据的同时缓解了与美国的贸易紧张局势。墨西哥10月份的失业率降至2.5%,为3月份以来的最低水平,超过了2.9%的预期,并支持Banxico降息周期的进一步灵活性。与此同时,在美国当选总统唐纳德·特朗普和墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·谢恩鲍姆举行外交会谈后,贸易战的担忧有所缓解。最初受到特朗普对移民和贩毒征收25%关税威胁的压力,在领导人之间进行了“精彩”的对话后,比索恢复了市场信心,特朗普赞扬了Sheinbaum解决这些问题的承诺。尽管有所复苏,但比索今年迄今仍下跌约20%,受到对政府支出增加、债务增加以及谢恩鲍姆政府领导下的央行宽松措施的担忧的拖累。
The Mexican peso strengthened past 20.4 per US dollar, rebounding from its weakest level since March 2022 at 20.64 on November 26th, as investors assessed labor market data alongside easing trade tensions with the US. Mexico’s unemployment rate fell to 2.5% in October, its lowest since March, beating forecasts of 2.9% and supporting further flexibility in Banxico’s rate-cutting cycle. Meanwhile, trade war fears eased after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum held diplomatic talks. Initially pressured by Trump’s 25% tariff threats over immigration and drug trafficking, the peso recovered after a “wonderful” conversation between the leaders reassured markets, with Trump praising Sheinbaum’s commitment to addressing these concerns. Despite the recovery, the peso remains about 20% weaker year-to-date, weighed down by concerns over elevated government spending, rising debt, and the central bank’s easing measures under Sheinbaum’s administration.
