Mexico's stock market surged to a 12-month high on November 11 as the peso maintained its value against the dollar. The S&P/BMV IPC index ended at 72,006, marking a modest 0.16% increase. The market's rally was driven by a strong performance on Wall Street, where the S&P 500 climbed 1.31% and the VIX, a measure of investor fear, dropped 10.12%.
Despite a stronger dollar and higher US bond yields, investor appetite for riskier markets like Mexico contributed to the upward trend. The peso held steady at 18.61 pesos per dollar, reflecting a 9.8% decline over 60 sessions but only a 0.61% decrease over 20 sessions. The IPC's performance over various periods indicated a strong upward momentum, with gains of 7.53% over 20 sessions and 12.1% over 60.
However, the market's strength remained dependent on Wall Street's stability and the Fed's future interest rate decisions.
