The Decision of Banxico

The local market remains focused on Banxico’s minutes, seeking clues about the central bank’s future interest rate policy. This follows yesterday’s eased tensions after a “wonderful” phone conversation between Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, which helped alleviate concerns about potential tariffs on Mexican goods.

Three members of the Bank of Mexico’s (Banxico) Governing Board have indicated support for a continued cycle of rate adjustments while maintaining a restrictive monetary stance.

According to the minutes from the November monetary policy announcement, in which the board unanimously decided on a fourth consecutive rate cut, one of the three members emphasized that they might even consider a larger rate adjustment at the next meeting.

This perspective highlights Banxico’s commitment to carefully calibrating its monetary policy to address evolving economic conditions while balancing the need for caution in a restrictive framework.

With trading volumes lighter than usual, the Mexican market continues to reflect cautious optimism amid a quieter international trading environment.
