Mexico's S&P/BMV IPC stock index saw a slight increase of 0.36% on Tuesday, reaching 69,258.58 points. This marked the fourth consecutive day of gains for the index. The main drivers behind the rise were airport operators, with GAP, a Pacific-region operator, surging 7.5% and ASUR, which includes Cancún, climbing 3.7%. The Mexican peso remained stable, trading at approximately 18.42 per dollar, providing a boost for index gains without the impact of a falling currency.
The rise in the index was primarily due to the strong performance of the two airport groups, suggesting that the rally was triggered by specific events rather than a broad market trend. The stability of the peso is seen as a positive sign as it keeps pressure off the Bank of Mexico.
