> Banco de México cut its benchmark rate by 25 basis points, from 6.50% to 6.25%, on November 5, with three board members voting for the reduction and two opposed. The decision came as headline inflation rose from 3.42% to 3.62%, core inflation edged down only slightly, and Banxico raised its average fourth-quarter inflation forecasts.

## Why it matters

The cut may weaken the peso and increase the local-currency cost of imported feed ingredients, while higher inflation forecasts add uncertainty to domestic purchasing costs. The currency effect is the clearest potential commodity-market channel; the article does not establish a direct change in supply or demand.
