The peso closed at 18.71 per dollar on October 22, its weakest level since September 2025, down about 9.7% since early September. The decline is attributed to the narrowing Fed-Banxico rate gap, risk aversion tied to the US-Iran war, and USMCA uncertainty.
A weaker peso makes Mexican imports of US feed grains and meal more expensive in local currency, which can dampen demand at the margin and weigh on US export prices.
