# Mexico’s central bank surprises markets with rate cut as peso weakens

> Banco de México cut its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 6.25% on November 5 in a narrow 3–2 vote, reopening its easing cycle after previously signaling it was complete. The bank cited continued disinflation, weak demand pressures and economic slack, and described the move as a fine adjustment while indicating the rate would remain at 6.25% for a prolonged period.

## Why it matters

Lower Mexican rates reduce the yield advantage over the US and may weaken support for the peso, making dollar-priced feed imports more expensive in local currency. The policy shift is therefore relevant to buyers’ import costs, although it does not directly alter commodity supply.
