Rabobank warns that a stagnant 6.50% rate at Banxico, coupled with anticipated Federal Reserve tightening, creates a bearish outlook for the Mexican Peso.
Rabobank expects Banxico to keep its overnight rate at 6.50% on November 5 and through 2027, while the Federal Reserve is seen hiking. A unchanged Mexican policy rate against higher US rates reduces the peso’s relative yield appeal and points to peso weakness. The view is a forecast, not an actual Banxico decision, so a surprise hold/hike or a change in Fed expectations could alter the outcome.

Rabobank analysts project that Banxico will maintain its overnight rate at 6.50% through 2027. This policy stance, contrasted against expectations of Federal Reserve rate hikes, is expected to erode the Mexican Peso's yield appeal and weigh on the currency in the short term.
