The dollar rose to 18.8148 pesos in Mexico on October 29, the highest level since August 2025 and the highest of 2026, after gaining 0.8% in a day. The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged during the week of October 24 to 30, 2026, and gasoline prices continued to fall.
A stronger dollar against the peso makes US-priced feed ingredients more expensive for Mexican buyers, which can weigh on import demand for corn and soybean meal. The rate move is a currency signal and does not by itself shift grain supply.
