Mexico’s stock market hit a six-month high on November 4, with the S&P/BMV IPC index closing at 71,386, marking a 1.71% increase. The index, which includes Mexico’s largest listed companies, rose above its 12-month peak of 71,601. The peso strengthened against the dollar, with the exchange rate falling to 18.62 pesos from 18.69 pesos, a 1.12% decrease.
The improvement in the Mexican market was linked to global relief following the US midterm elections and easing US borrowing costs. The index's 9.30% increase over 20 sessions further indicated a strong upward trend. While the index’s rally was supported by a combination of global factors, Banorte's decline somewhat tempered the gains.
Investors also noted Mexico's mounting fiscal deficit, which continues to impact market sentiment. The positive movement extended beyond Mexico, with Chile’s IPSA and Brazil’s Ibovespa also recording gains.
