MXN: Indications of monetary relaxation and a stable currency – Societe Generale
Banxico Hints at Potential for Interest Rate Reductions
According to Societe Generale analysts, Deputy Governor Galia Borja has indicated that Mexico’s central bank may have the flexibility to lower interest rates. This outlook is supported by subdued domestic consumption, decreased investment activity, and a stronger Peso.
Despite fresh concerns regarding the USMCA raised by USTR Greer and a drop in President Sheinbaum’s approval rating to 56%—her lowest since taking office—the Mexican Peso remained stable. The currency’s resilience persisted even as other high-yield and commodity-linked currencies, such as the ZAR, COP, CLP, and AUD, faced setbacks due to volatility in the tech sector.
On the economic data side, Mexico’s final fourth-quarter GDP growth was revised upward to 0.9% quarter-on-quarter (1.8% year-on-year), compared to previous estimates of 0.8% (1.6% year-on-year). Additionally, mid-February inflation edged up slightly to 3.92% from 3.82%.

"Agent vs US Treasury" — Who Will Dominate the US Stock Market?
The wave of AI Agents and US Treasury yields are splitting the US stock market into two worlds: Meta's release of the Muse model boosted its market value by $220 billion in a single week, propelling the Nasdaq's standout performance; however, excluding AI stocks, the S&P 500 actually fell 1% this week, with the number of new lows on the New York Stock Exchange surpassing new highs for nine consecutive days, signaling the near end of "breadth trading." Goldman Sachs bluntly stated that this is a "frustrating cat-and-mouse game" between the stock market and interest rates—any breakout can be snuffed out by the bond market at any time, so equity holders must short US Treasury bonds to hedge simultaneously.
