# Banxico’s surprise 6.25% rate cut splits the board as the peso recovers at Friday’s fixing

> Banco de México cut its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 6.25% on November 5 in a 3–2 vote, with two officials preferring to hold rates steady. The official peso-per-dollar FIX fell from 18.7147 to 18.6297 the next day, indicating a stronger peso, while the central bank described the cut as specific to current conditions rather than the start of an extended easing cycle.

## Why it matters

The rate cut may narrow the peso’s yield advantage and create upward pressure on USD/MXN, although the reported fixing strengthened the peso after the decision. The mixed signals imply limited, uncertain near-term currency effects on import costs.
