In an interview with El Financiero, Victoria Rodriguez Ceja, Banco de Mexico (Banxico) Governor, said that the Mexican Peso (MXN) strength was due to the market's perception of Mexico’s “preferential treatment” in the US tariffs policy.
On Monday night, the US government announced its intention to withdraw from a trade agreement with Mexico and impose a 17% tariff on Mexican tomatoes, Commerzbank's FX analyst Michael Pfister notes.
The Mexican Peso (MXN) is holding broadly steady against the US Dollar (USD) on Wednesday, remaining close to year-to-date highs, as investors await the release of the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) May Federal Reserve Open Markets Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes.
