Fed vs. Banxico: USD/MXN forecast The US Federal Reserve (Fed) is set to announce its decision on Wednesday, followed by the Bank of Mexico (Banxico) on Thursday. Forecasts suggest that both central banks will maintain their current interest rates.
Recent indications from Banxico suggest a leaning towards a more accommodative monetary policy. However, Deputy Governor Irene Espinosa has expressed reservations, highlighting the persistence and escalation of inflationary risks.
Analyzing the USD/MXN chart reveals an upward momentum, with the pair converging between the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the 50-day SMA at 17.40. The reclaiming of the psychological level of 17.50 could be a crucial factor in confirming this momentum. If the USD/MXN experiences a decline, the 100-day SMA may serve as a noteworthy level before reaching support at 17.00/05.
Economists at Rabobank project USD/MXN to average around 17.20 in the next month. They expect the pair to trade around this level in early 2024 before potentially rising to the 17.80 region by the end of the first quarter.
Why the Mexican Peso Surged Against the USD? On Wednesday, the US dollar decreased in value against other major currencies, including the Mexican peso, by over 1%, due to reports of slower than expected US inflation. This suggests that the Federal Reserve may pause its interest rate hikes. According to data from the US Labor Department, inflation in April decreased to 4.9%, which is the lowest year-over-year increase in two years and lower than market forecasts of 5%. The slower inflation was attributed to slower growth in food prices and a further decrease in energy costs.
However, core inflation remained high at 5.5%, indicating that interest rates may need to stay high for some time to control it. Fed funds futures traders are anticipating a pause before expected rate cuts in September, which might be a little optimistic, as the Fed's target range remains at 5% to 5.25%.
The Mexican peso gained strength to 17.544, its highest value since July 2017, as the difference between US and Mexican monetary policies became more pronounced. The RSI on the USDMXN suggests it is in an extreme oversold condition, so a pullback may be necessary. Resistance levels from 2017 for the pair may no longer be relevant, but the strongest value the peso reached in 2017 was $17.430, while the peak in 2016 was $17.050.
For fundamental context, Banxico increased rates to an all-time high of 11.25% in March, despite a decrease in annual headline inflation that was greater than expected. Mexico's proximity to the US has also made it an attractive location for foreign companies to open factories targeting the American market and diversifying production from China. Additionally, the US economy's robust state has led to a rise in remittances to Mexico from expats.

USDMXNThis exotic currency pair has been in a bullish trend over the past few weeks, due mostly to USD strength. The news of the origin of a potentially dangerous coronavirus variant emerging in South Africa at the end of last week caused many countries to shut their doors on South African and other African travel, and strongly hit the price of Crude Oil on fears of lesser demand, of which Mexico is a major exporter, causing the Mexican peso to nosedive and send this pair sharply higher to a new 1-year high price on strongly above-average volatility.
Unless it is quickly discovered that the omicron variant should not be as problematic as feared, it is hard to see how Crude Oil and henceforth the Mexican peso will not make a further sharp fall over the course of this week.
The Japanese yen is stronger than the USD so short MXN/JPY will probably be a better trade if your Forex broker offers access to it.
Is USDMXN heading to $19.50 ??? After observing price is finding resistance at $20.00, and Stochastic indicator is at a level of 92 (pverbought), price might move downward to a lower low, probably $19.50
I am personally entering a short position
STOP LOSS $20.02
TARGET 1: $19.70
TARGET 2: $19.60
TARGET 3: $19.50

Mexican standoff USD/MXN has been in a range since early December but I think its getting ready to breakout to the downside. As long as price stays below 20.0000, I could see a move all the way down to 18.5000 near the pre covid lows. I think the FED has been clear about its policy and any reflation should positive for the peso. The move in crude oil should also be a tailwind.
UsdMxn- a new rise to 22 zone is very probableThe 21 zone is strong support for UsdMxn and also the drop from 21.80 is contained in a falling wedge pattern
I strongly believe that 21 will hold and a break above the descending trend-line of the wedge would accelerate losses for Mexican Peso.
A buy trade for this pair could have a 1:3 R:R
USDMXN NEXT TRADE SETUP(SHORT).As you seen my last week trade setup and our last call on this pair and USDZAR as well, the market almost hit the expected target around 21.5000 area.On the weekly chart market look on a bearish momentum with a possible break of the recent lows in the near future But i should retrace back towards up to maintain its structure(support and resistance) .Price on the daily chart will probably test the daily structure before starting a bounce over it.If the price will break below the structure we will monitor the market for a nice short order.We will consider a long reversal only over the 22.0000 area.
