# Mexican peso falls before U.S. midterms and Banxico

> The Mexican peso fell 1.47% against the dollar on Tuesday, closing at 18.8385 per dollar. Caution ahead of the U.S. midterm elections, Middle East tensions, and stronger U.S. labor-market data supported the dollar and weighed on the peso.

## Why it matters

Risk aversion and expectations of higher-for-longer U.S. rates can draw capital toward the dollar and weaken the peso. A weaker peso raises the local-currency cost of imported feed and agricultural commodities.
