The Mexican peso weakened on November 5, 2026 after Banxico unexpectedly cut its overnight rate by 25 basis points to 6.25%. The decision passed by majority, with Governor Victoria Rodríguez Ceja and two deputies voting for the cut and two members voting to hold at 6.50%.
A surprise easing with a split board pushes the peso weaker, raising the peso cost of dollar-priced feed imports such as corn and soymeal for Mexican buyers. Headline inflation accelerating to 3.62% adds pressure on the currency.
