The Bank of Mexico's interest rate decision directly determines the yield attractiveness of the Peso (MXN), thus having a direct and significant tradable impact on the USD/MXN exchange rate (Score 3).

April 28, 2026 - April 30, 2026, the price of 'Decrease' surged from 37.5c to 91.5c, while 'No change' crashed from 62.5c to 7.5c, driven by cooler mid-April inflation data and swap markets pricing in a 25 bps rate cut in May. April 22, 2026 - April 24, 2026, the price of 'Decrease' recovered from 11c to 26.5c, while 'No change' fell from 87.5c to 71.5c.
