Mexican Peso rallies after Sheinbaum names Economy and Foreign Ministers – Crypto News
- Mexican Peso remains stable against US Dollar alongside solid April Retail Sales data.
- Political uncertainty over AMLO’s judiciary reforms limits further gains, with key announcements expected from President-elect Sheinbaum.
- US housing sector weakens and softer jobs data emerge.
- Fed’s Kashkari suggests disinflation may take a year or two.
The Mexican Peso extends its gains against the US Dollar on Thursday after economic data showed the country’s economy remains robust. However, political uncertainty about a pending judiciary reform caps the emerging market currency’s advance. The USD/MXN exchanges hands at 18.30, down 0.56%.
Mexico’s economic docket revealed solid Retail Sales in April, exceeding estimates and March’s figures. Later on Thursday, President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum reveal the names of six cabinet members who have collaborated with her since October 1.
Sheinbaum’s most renowned appointments were Marcelo Ebrard’s Casaubon as her Economy Minister, and Juan Ramon de la Fuente as Foreign Minister.
In the meantime, political noise about President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s (AMLO) reforms submitted to the congress had waned, as reflected by the USD/MXN stabilizing at around 18.40-18.50. Nevertheless, this consolidation could be the calm before the storm, as the newly elected Mexican congress will begin on September 1.
Across the border, the US housing sector continued to deteriorate, while jobs data was softer than expected. Federal Reserve speakers continued to cross the newswires, with Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari speaking.
Kashkari stated that it will probably take a year or two to lower core inflation to 2%. He added the path of interest rates would depend on the economy, emphasizing, “We are getting disinflation despite remarkable economic growth.”
Daily digest market movers: Mexican Peso remains flat despite posting strong Retail Sales
- Mexican Retail Sales in April increased from 0% to 0.5%, above estimates of -0.3% MoM. They jumped from -1.7% to 3.2%, more than doubling projections by analysts for the 12 months to April.
- USD/MXN stabilizes following last week’s verbal intervention by Banxico Governor Victoria Rodriguez Ceja, who said the central bank is attentive to volatility in the Mexican currency exchange rate and could act to restore “order” in markets.
- Volatility in the USD/MXN exchange rate could prevent Banxico from cutting interest rates for the second time in the year at the upcoming meeting on June 27. A rate cut could weaken the Mexican Peso and expose the USD/MXN year-to-date high at 18.99.
- US Initial Jobless Claims for the week ending June 15 climbed 238K, exceeding estimates of 235K but lower than the previous reading of 243K.
- US Building Permits plunged 3.6% in May, from 1.44 million to 1.386 million. Housing Starts for the same period dropped from 1.352 million to 1.277 million, a fall of 5.5%.
- The CME FedWatch Tool shows odds for a 25-basis-point Fed rate cut at 58%, down from 62% on Wednesday.
Technical analysis: Mexican Peso consolidates at around 18.30-18.50
The USD/MXN shifted upward bias despite consolidating within the 18.30-18.50 range during the last four days. Momentum supports buyers as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains bullish.
For a bullish continuation, the USD/MXN must clear 18.50 if buyers want to retest the year-to-date high of 18.99. A breach of the latter will expose the March 20, 2023, high of 19.23. If that price is cleared, this will sponsor an uptick to 19.50, ahead of the psychological 20.00 mark.
Conversely, if sellers push prices below the April 19 high of 18.15, the exotic pair will be kept within the 18.00-18.15 range.
Economic Indicator
Retail Sales (MoM)
The Retail Sales released by INEGI measures the total receipts of retail stores. Monthly percent changues reflect the rate of changes of such sales. Changes in retail sales are widely followed as an indicator of consumer spending. Generally speaking, a high reading is seen as positive or bullish for the Mexican peso, while a low reading is seen as negative or bearish.
