# The Peso Ends Eight Weeks of Losses, Though Banxico Tempers Optimism

> The Mexican peso appreciated on Friday, ending an eight-week run of losses, and closed at 18.62 pesos per dollar, up 0.65% against the previous day. It gained 0.93% over the week, supported early on by the Democratic victory in the US midterm elections, while an unexpected Banxico rate cut tempered optimism.

## Why it matters

Peso appreciation can lower Mexico’s cost of imported feed and other dollar-priced commodities. The rate cut may narrow the yield advantage of Mexican assets and limit further gains in the peso, moderating that effect.
