Mexican Peso Returns to 2-Week Lows
The Mexican peso weakened to 17.3 per USD, returning to levels seen at the beginning of April as the analysis highlights a shift in direction for the USD/MXN pair, signaling that the currency’s recent strength has hit a ceiling. This reversal is a direct response to rising geopolitical risks following the US Navy’s seizure of an Iranian cargo ship, an event that has effectively stalled tanker traffic in the Hormuz chokepoint and triggered a broader move toward safe-haven assets. With crude prices jumping 4.8% to $87. and the US Dollar Index (DXY) climbing to 98, the peso is seeing a natural pullback as global investors pivot away from emerging market risk, erasing the progress made over the last two weeks while the market remains on high alert over the situation

Mexican Peso Hits February Highs
The Mexican peso strengthened by 0.13% to 17 per USD, driven entirely by the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. This breakthrough has pushed the currency back to levels not seen in 11 weeks, completely erasing the volatility caused by the conflict. This recovery is supported by a weaker US Dollar (DXY -0.29%) and a massive 12% drop in oil prices. With the naval blockade resolved, global optimism has returned, allowing the peso to reach its strongest point since early February as investors expect a solid finish to the week across global markets.

Mexican Peso Hits 6-Week High
The Mexican peso strengthened to around 17.27 per U.S. dollar, its highest level since late February. The appreciation was driven by broad dollar weakness and increased risk appetite, supported by optimism over diplomatic progress between the US and Iran. Despite global uncertainty, Mexico continues to attract interest, underpinned by relatively high interest rates and robust manufacturing data. Monetary policy remains a key driver, with the benchmark rate at 6.75%, comfortably exceeding the 4.59% inflation rate. Meanwhile, February exports rose 15.8% to $56.85 billion, fueled by a surge in mining and manufactured goods. This resilience is further reinforced by auto exports climbing 4.2% year-over-year in March (310,205 units)
