Good start to the week for the price of the Dollar: exchange rate remains stable despite increased inflation

Good start to the week for him exchange rate in Mexico: he dollar price remained stable after the opening of markets this Monday, November 24, 2025.

He US dollar is negotiated at the beginning of sessions 18.47 Mexican pesos on averagewhich represented a zero change when compared to last week’s closing, according to reports Dow Jones.

According to a financial analysis by Monex, the exchange rate responds to the recent weakness of the US currency and the poor results of the Mexican economy.

In Mexico, during the first half of November, inflation stood at 0.47%, from the previous figure of 0.14%, exceeding market expectations of 0.40%. The above implied an annual rate of 3.61%, compared to the previous figure of 3.50%.

The rise in inflation could have an impact on the monetary policy of the Bank of Mexico (Banxico) towards the end of the year.

For its part, in the United States, nervousness in the markets is moderating and investors are waiting to learn more relevant economic data delayed by the historic government shutdown.

There will be a new cut in interest rates at the Federal Reserve (FED) meeting in early December. The statements by John Williams, president of the New York FED, opened the door to additional adjustment, raising the odds of a 25 basis point reduction to 75.5%, compared to 42.0% last week.

The weakness of the labor market and the moderation in inflation reinforce the view that the central bank will act to avoid falling behind, which investors see as the catalyst to boost stock markets in a week marked by the Thanksgiving holiday.

Taking into account the last seven days, the US dollar records an increase of 0.24%; On the other hand, in interannual terms, there is still a decrease in 9.07%.

In relation to past days, it puts an end to two sessions of streak. This week’s volatility is noticeably lower than the numbers achieved for the last year (9.75%), so in this last phase it is trending less than usual.

Grupo Bursátil Mexicano (GBM) Casa de Bolsa warns that, although risks persist, the country is in a relatively solid position compared to other emerging economies.

GBM’s analysis highlights that Mexico has managed to stand out among emerging markets, even amid the macroeconomic uncertainty that has characterized recent months. President Donald Trump’s trade decisions have raised concerns, but the perception of more moderate and pragmatic economic leadership has favored the narrative about the country. This positive image has increased Mexico’s attractiveness for international funds, which consider it one of their preferred destinations in Latin America.

The reconfiguration of global trade has been a determining factor in this scenario. In an environment marked by trade tensions, Mexico has prioritized maintaining a close relationship with the United States to ensure a fair and balanced exchange. However, the recent warning of imposing 30% tariffs on Mexican and European products—not counting sectoral tariffs, such as 25% on the automotive sector—has revived speculation among investors about a possible increase in tariffs applied to Mexican exports to the US market.

Given this panorama, the next review of the T-MEC acquires strategic relevance. Although the formal process has not yet begun, the renegotiation of the treaty could open new opportunities for Mexico, especially against Asian competitors. If the review manages to provide certainty for investments linked to nearshoring, the country could consolidate its position as a preferred destination for the relocation of productive chains.

Regarding growth prospects, GBM analysts project limited economic progress for this year, with an estimate of 0.5%, although they foresee more favorable conditions in the second half. Investment could experience greater dynamism, driven by public-private collaboration programs such as the “Mexico Plan” and by the downward trend in interest rates, which would offer an additional stimulus to productive investment.

Sectors such as consumer, technology, healthcare and fintech have shown resilience and could reach a turning point in the coming months. The recovery of consumer confidence, a favorable exchange rate, the integration of technological infrastructure with artificial intelligence, and banking and business digitalization are emerging as factors that open opportunities for both investors and markets.

However, structural risks remain. The generation of formal employment has moderated and underemployment has increased, which limits the absorption capacity of the labor market. Furthermore, remittance flows, although high, could be affected by changes in United States immigration policy. According to GBM, these elements configure an environment of external volatility and internal institutional adjustments that will mark the end of 2025 for the Mexican economy.

The Mexican peso is the legal tender of Mexico and is the first currency in the world to use the $ sign, which was later adopted by the United States for the dollar.

This currency is the fifteenth most traded currency in the world, as well as the most traded in Latin America and the third on the continent only behind the US and Canadian dollars.

Currently the abbreviation MXN is used to talk about the Mexican peso, but before 1993 the acronym MXP was used.

The coins normally used in Mexico are semicircular in shape and have the national coat of arms on the reverse. One Mexican peso is equivalent to 100 cents. There are coins of 1, 5, 10 and 20 pesos; while in bills there are 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 pesos.
