7月份,墨西哥比索兑美元汇率超过18.65,为2024年8月中旬以来的最高水平,这是由于外部资金流入增加、美元走软和国内货币政策仍然具有限制性。从外部来看,6月份出乎意料的大规模美国财政计划和特朗普迫在眉睫的关税最后期限削弱了美元,而墨西哥5月份10.3亿美元的贸易顺差和创纪录的55亿美元汇款使硬通货流入该国。在国内,Banxico于6月26日决定将关键利率下调50个基点至8%,同时重申进一步下调将等待稳健的通货紧缩,这保持了有吸引力的实际利率,锚定了比索的收益率差异。此外,由于失业率处于十年来的最低水平2.7%,墨西哥6月份的采购经理人指数为46.3,仍超过该地区大部分地区,比索受益于有弹性的增长指标。
The Mexican peso strengthened past 18.65 per USD in July, its strongest level since mid-August 2024, driven by stronger external inflows, a softer US dollar and a still-restrictive domestic monetary stance. Externally, June’s unexpectedly large US fiscal package and Trump’s looming tariff deadline have dented the dollar, while Mexico’s trade surplus of $1.03 billion in May, and record remittances topping $5.5 billion have kept hard currency flowing into the country. Domestically, Banxico’s June 26th decision to cut its key rate by 50 bps to 8%, while reiterating that further reductions will await solid disinflation, has preserved an attractive real interest rate, anchoring peso-yield differentials. Moreover, with unemployment at a decade-low 2.7% and Mexico’s PMI at 46.3 in June still outpacing most of the region, the peso has benefited from resilient growth indicators.
