Mexican Stocks Edge Higher As Technical Strength Counters Inflation Jitters

(MENAFN- The Rio Times) The S&P/BMV IPC, Mexico's main stock index, advanced 0.49% to close at 58,098.51 on June 10, 2025, according to official closing data and TradingView charts.

The session saw the index trade between 57,608.43 and 58,173.96, with a modest 0.97% intraday range. This move followed a previous session marked by hesitation, where inflation and technical resistance capped gains, as reported by official sources and the prior day's market analysis.

The market's upward movement came despite lingering concerns about inflation. Headline inflation in May reached 4.42%, the highest since November, and core inflation hit 4.06%.

These figures remain above the central bank's target, yet expectations persist for another 50 basis-point rate cut at the next Banco de México meeting.

Economists from Citi and Banco Base publicly stated that while the central bank may continue easing, a pause or smaller cut could be prudent if inflation persists.



Technical analysis of the daily chart reveals the index remains in a strong uptrend. The price sits above the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day simple moving averages, a classic sign of bullish momentum.

The 20-day moving average at 57,892.88 provided support during the session. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands near 59, suggesting neither overbought nor oversold conditions.

The MACD remains positive, reinforcing the bullish case. Bollinger Bands show the index trading near the upper band, indicating sustained buying but not yet signaling exhaustion.

The 4-hour chart confirms this trend, with the price holding above the Ichimoku cloud and short-term moving averages, reflecting ongoing institutional support.

Volume remained steady, supporting the price action without signs of speculative excess. The index now sits just 1.09% below its 2025 high and 18.67% above its yearly low, underscoring resilience in the face of macroeconomic headwinds.

Among the top performers, Industrias Peñoles led with a 3.28% gain to 507.00 MXN, followed by Promotora y Operadora de Infraestructura (+1.70%), Volaris (+1.61%), Megacable Holdings (+1.29%), and Wal-Mart de México (+1.08%).

On the losing side, Banco del Bajío fell 3.38%, Qualitas Controladora dropped 3.18%, GMéxico Transportes lost 2.67%, Grupo GICSA slipped 2.26%, and Minera Frisco declined 1.45%.

Benchmarking against regional peers, the Mexican market's 9.54% annual gain trails Brazil's but outpaces most developed markets. Both Mexico and Brazil continue to attract global investors seeking value and yield, as Latin American equities trade at a discount to global averages.

In summary, technical strength and resilient fundamentals allowed Mexican equities to rebound, countering inflation worries and external uncertainty.

The market's structure remains constructive, with clear support from both local and international investors, as evidenced by price action and volume.

The session's winners and losers reflect ongoing sector rotation and the search for defensive value amid a shifting macroeconomic landscape.
