墨西哥比索兑美元汇率跌破18.7,从2024年8月的高点回落,此前特朗普总统对加拿大商品征收35%的关税,并威胁对其他合作伙伴征收15-20%的关税,这引发了人们的担忧,即类似的《美墨加协定》相关措施可能会扼杀墨西哥的出口引擎。与此同时,美元指数的持续反弹进一步增加了阻力。与此同时,墨西哥银行6月份的会议记录显示,尽管自2024年初以来已降息325个基点,但政策制定者现在倾向于适度降息25个基点,因为整体通胀率仍高达4.32%,远高于其3%的目标,削弱了对更具支持性的货币立场的预期。汇款流入是外汇的重要来源,目前正面临压力,因为美国参议院正在讨论征收汇款税,剥夺了比索通常的季节性缓刑,使其容易受到美元持续走强的影响。
The Mexican peso weakened past 18.7 per USD, retracing from its August 2024 highs after President Trump’s imposition of a 35% tariff on Canadian goods, and the threat of 15–20% duties on other partners, raised fears that similar USMCA-related measures could choke Mexico’s export engine. Simultaneously, the dollar index’s sustained rebound added further headwinds. Meanwhile, Bank of Mexico minutes from June revealed that, despite 325 bp of rate cuts since early 2024, policymakers are now inclined toward modest quarter-point reductions as headline inflation remains elevated at 4.32%, well above their 3% target, undermining expectations of a more supportive monetary stance. Remittance inflows, a crucial source of foreign exchange, are under pressure as US Senate talks of a remittance tax, stripping the peso of its usual seasonal reprieve and leaving it vulnerable to ongoing dollar strength.
