On September 3, 2026, Mexico's stock market showed modest gains, with the S&P/BMV IPC index closing at 64,833 points, up 0.49%. The strength of the peso played a significant role, ending at 16.971 per US dollar, marking a 0.14% increase. The index's modest gain was driven by specific corporate catalysts, such as the airport operators GAP and ASUR, and the bank Banorte.
ASUR confirmed a 992-million-dollar deal for 20 airports across four countries, while Banorte climbed 2.1% in trading volume of 46 million dollars. However, heavyweights like America Movil and Walmex traded sideways or even lower. The currency's strength near 17 per dollar is consistent with carry trade demand, where global investors borrow in cheap currencies to buy Mexico's higher-yielding peso assets.
