The Mexican peso operates in the early hours of today with an upward shift over yesterday’s gains. The exchange rate is located at the level of 20,2002 units per dollar , with a movement of -0.75% against the US currency. This means an appreciation of 0.15 cents for our currency.
At the national level, the peso is supported by the year- on- year inflation figures presented by the Inegi for the month of November. The record of 4.72% was lower than the previous figure of 4.90 percent.
Another factor that favors its performance against the dollar is the negative data of non-agricultural payrolls in the United States, and the November unemployment rate in that country, which stood at 3.7%, unchanged against the previous record.
Due to the interest that the US Federal Reserve ( Fed ) has in the employment figures, the registrations increase the forecasts for greater moderation in the rate of increases in interest rates during 2019. Investors remain alert to further signs of economic slowdown.
The peso is set to record an accumulated rise in the week, which would interrupt a streak of eight consecutive weekly falls.
