USD/MXN rises to 17.2333 as Fed's rate hike narrows Mexico's rate advantage
The Mexican peso weakened against the U.S. dollar following the Federal Reserve's first interest rate increase of 2026, which reduced Mexico's rate premium. This development led USD/MXN to rise to 17.2333, up from 17.1706 the previous session. The Federal Reserve's decision to hike rates has diminished the carry trade appeal of the peso, contributing to its depreciation.
