Mexican Peso Fuck
Mexican peso (MXN) is the most tradable currency among Latin -American peers. Its value is widely determined by the level of money from the Mexican economy, the Central Bank of the National Bank, the level of money transfers living in the state and even abroad, especially the United States. Geopolitical trends can also move MXN: for example, the decision of the near -field process – or the decision of some companies – is also considered to be relocated to the production capacity and supply chains closer to its home countries – also a Mexican currency catalyst, as the country is considered a key center in the American continent. Another Catalyst for MXN is oil prices because Mexico is the main exporter of goods.
Mexican central bank, also known as Banxico, the main purpose is to maintain inflation at a low and stable level (3%or near it, the center of the tolerance strip between 2-4%). For this purpose, the bank sets the level of interest rates. If inflation is too high, Banxico tries to tame it by raising interest rates, making households and business money more expensive, thus cooling demand and the entire economy. Higher interest rates are generally positive about the Mexican Peso (MXN) as they cause a higher yield, making national investors a more attractive place. On the contrary, lower interest rates tend to weaken MXN.
Macroeconomic data publications are key to assessing the state of the economy and may affect the assessment of the Mexican peso (MXN). For MXN, a good Mexican economy based on high economic growth, low unemployment and high trust is good. Not only does this attract more foreign investment, it can encourage the Mexican Bank (Banxico) to increase interest rates, especially if this strength is accompanied by increased inflation. If economic data are weak, MXN is likely to be depreciated.
As a result of the resulting market, the Mexican Peso (MXN) tends to catch during risk periods or when investors perceive that the wider market risks are low and are therefore eager to deal with more risk investments. Contrary to MXN, MXN tends to weaken during market survival or economic uncertainty, as investors tend to sell higher -risk assets and flee to more stable secure parakes.
