# Banxico rate cut puts pressure on the peso; trades at 18.77 per dollar

> The peso initially fell more than 1% after Banxico cut its benchmark rate to 6.25%, reaching 18.83 per dollar before paring losses. The central bank described the divided decision as a one-time adjustment and said it expected to hold the rate at that level for an extended period.

## Why it matters

A lower Mexican policy rate can weigh on the peso and lift the cost of dollar-priced imports, though the bank’s guidance against further near-term moves may limit the currency effect.
