The Mexican peso rose 0.29% against the U.S. dollar, while the dollar index fell, after Mexico’s October inflation rate came in at 3.75%, above expectations of 3.65%. The inflation reading reinforced expectations that interest rates will remain stable; improved risk appetite and easing Middle East tensions also supported the peso.
A stronger peso lowers the local-currency cost of dollar-denominated feed and commodity imports for Mexican buyers. The move in the exchange rate points to a lower USDMXN, though it does not establish a direct change in commodity prices.
