03.17 07:37 UpdatedFair Value Reasoning:
Although Mexico's unemployment rate historically displays a seasonal decline from January (2.7%) to February, the market's current bet on a drop to ≤2.4% (a decrease of ≥0.3%) appears overly aggressive (50% implied probability). Given the cooling economic context, the pace of decline may slow, making the 2.5%-2.6% range statistically more likely. The market seems to be extrapolating too heavily from the sharp drop seen in 2024, ignoring the risk of mean reversion; thus, the fair value for ≤2.4% is adjusted downward, while 2.5% and 2.6% are weighted higher.

Movers
From March 15, 2026, to March 16, 2026, the price of the ≤2.4% option plummeted from 64.5c to 50c. The reason is likely that the market realized the bet on a sharp decline in unemployment (from 2.7% to below 2.4%) was overly crowded and optimistic. As the release date approaches, capital is shifting towards risk hedging or profit-taking.
From Feb 24, 2026, to Feb 27, 2026, the market was in a state of extremely low volatility, with prices mainly composed of stale limit orders.
Divergence
The market price implies a 50% probability for ≤2.4%, suggesting a month-over-month decline of at least 0.3 percentage points. This diverges from the mainstream macroeconomic view, which, while acknowledging seasonal downtrends, typically forecasts a more moderate decline (e.g., landing in the 2.5%-2.6% range) during an economic cooling cycle. The market is pricing in the 'best-case scenario' rather than the 'base case'.
