Mexico Peso Stalls At 20.07 As Fed’S Steady Hand Guides Markets
(MENAFN- The Rio Times) Traders fix the USD/MXN rate at 20.07 this morning, March 20, 2025, at 08:28 AM CET, reflecting the latest market pulse.
The US Federal Reserve's decision late yesterday shapes today's story, following a tense wait on March 19. The Peso softens, caught between Mexico's woes and a firm Dollar.
Yesterday, March 19, pushes the USD/MXN above 20.00, as traders hold their breath for the Fed's call. The Fed sticks to a cautious path, skipping aggressive rate cuts, which nudges the Dollar up overnight.
The pair steadies near 20.07, with quiet trading signaling a wait-and-see mood after Mexico 's March 18 bank holiday slows earlier action.
Mexico's economy drags, with industrial output down 0.9% year-over-year from August 2024, denting Peso confidence. Global markets mix signals, as the US Dollar Index holds near 102.84, limiting sharp moves.
Tariff uncertainties under President Trump add pressure, while trade talk rumors swirl without traction. Market makers chime in early. A forex strategist says,“The Peso treads water at 20.07, with the Fed offering little spark and volumes still low.”
Another notes,“The pair locks in a 20.05-20.10 range overnight, with ETF outflows hinting at tariff hedges.” Trading stays moderate, but picks up as US desks open.
The pair opens at 20.07 today, testing 20.10 in Asia before easing back. Technically, 20.00 supports, with 19.94 as the next floor, while 20.20 resists, eyeing 20.34 if breached. The RSI at 55 shows balance, but the 50-day average at 20.25 looms overhead.
Analysts stay wary, pegging year-end USD/MXN at 19.69, though tariffs could lift it. Mexico's US trade link fuels long-term hope, yet short-term gloom prevails. Whispers of an April Banxico rate cut stir, but no one bites yet.
The Fed's restraint props the Dollar, while Mexico's holiday lag and weak data cap the Peso. Traders now eye US jobless claims or consumer confidence for cues. A dip below 20.00 might boost the Peso, but 20.20 could cement Dollar strength by weekend.
