# Mexican peso regains ground against the dollar after sharp fall following Banxico announcement

> The Mexican peso rose 0.58% to 18.6407 per dollar on Friday, recovering after reaching its weakest level since August 2025 the previous day. Traders assessed U.S. employment figures and Banxico’s unexpected 25-basis-point rate cut, which narrowed the interest-rate advantage supporting the peso.

## Why it matters

The smaller Mexico–U.S. rate differential can reduce demand for peso carry trades and weigh on the currency, although the peso rebounded in this session. A weaker peso, if sustained, would raise the local-currency cost of imported feed and other commodities.
