TRF Casa de Bolsa chief economist Jorge Gordillo said Banxico needs to preserve confidence in its monetary policy as investors question the rationale for cutting rates despite persistent inflation risks. The central bank cut its policy rate by 25 basis points to 6.25% the previous week, narrowing the rate advantage that had supported the peso against the U.S. dollar.
A smaller interest-rate differential could weaken the peso and increase the local-currency cost of dollar-priced imported feed and inputs. The potential currency pressure stems from monetary policy and investor confidence, not a direct change in commodity supply.
