The Mexican peso slid past 18.80 per USD to a one-month low as the broad US dollar rebounded. The dollar was supported by a 3% annualized US Q2 GDP print and US trade agreements with the EU and Japan that eased tariff fears.
Mexico's Q2 GDP growth of 0.7% q/q beat consensus, but the peso only partly cushioned the dollar's strength.
A weaker peso raises the cost of dollar-priced feed imports for Mexican buyers, which can dampen their purchasing of US corn and soymeal at the margin. The effect on grain prices is modest.
