USD/MXN rallied yesterday at 20.1079 after FOMC's members Williams and Harker crossed wires yesterday with hints that Fed Rate Hikes are more important than ever and March odds are increasing. Then Trump appeared early this morning with patriotic speech, boosting US index higher at 101.79 and USD/MXN clocked a higher record for this week 20.1600, but the pair couldn't withhold the 20 level and retreated to 19.9788 at which the currency is currently trading.
Unemployment in Mexico peeked up to 3.6% in January, a 0.2% rise on December’s reading but lower than market expectations of a rise to 3.8%. The USD clawed back some of the session’s losses against the Peso but the Mexican currency still remains vulnerable to further downside pressure from President Donald Trump’s job repatriation vows.
