Mexico's stock market experienced a slight decline on Wednesday, while the country's currency, the peso, strengthened. The S&P/BMV IPC, which tracks Mexico's largest companies, fell by 0.76% to 69,182 points. Meanwhile, the peso gained approximately 0.3%, trading at 18.62 per US dollar. This contrast in market performance suggests a stronger peso and a calm US market are contributing factors, rather than a global sell-off.
The decline was primarily concentrated in food, conglomerate, and chemicals sectors, with some of the largest index weights experiencing minimal losses. The drop in the IPC follows a 0.35% gain on Tuesday, and analysts are watching whether the session low of 68,900 holds on Thursday. The Federal Reserve in the US kept interest rates steady, while the Bank of Canada raised rates by 0.25 percentage points.
