The Mexican peso was at the 17.3 per USD mark, remaining relatively close to the six-week high of 17.25 from April 15th as markets dimmed expectations of rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, supporting emerging market currencies against the dollar. Benchmark oil prices eased off their multi-year peaks from late March and limited the magnitude of risk-off sentiment. In the meantime, mid-month inflation data showed that headline price growth in Mexico surged to its highest in 17 months in March. The data strengthened the argument for hawks in the Bank of Mexico, increasing the likelihood of a hold in the central bank’s upcoming decision following the controversial cut this month.
