  "account": "Mexican stocks surged to their best session in ten weeks on Friday, 21 August 2026, marking a significant rebound from a 10% correction threshold. Both of Mexico's main stock exchanges, the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (BMV) and the Bolsa Institucional de Valores (BIVA), posted strong gains, lifting the benchmark index, the S&P/BMV IPC, out of correction territory. The IPC climbed 2.14% to close at 65,729.18 points, while the FTSE BIVA index of BIVA rose 2.17% to 1,325.62 points. This performance was the strongest since 11 June, according to El Economista. The peso also strengthened, reaching 16.9018 pesos per dollar, a level higher than its year-end 2025 rate of 17.9750. The Federal Reserve's recent minutes, which tempered expectations of further US rate rises, contributed to the peso's appreciation. The Mexican stocks rally followed a positive week for the country's markets, with both exchanges reflecting confidence in Mexican equities. However, the gains were not a record, but a notable rebound.",
