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%.

BTIG warns: US stocks have entered "uncharted territory," and gold may further decline to $3,500
The low volatility in the US stock market is actually an illusion created by extreme divergence among sectors, with the internal structure being extremely fragile. BTIG warns that the market urgently needs a panic-induced sharp correction, with the Nasdaq facing at least an 8.5% pullback and the S&P 500 potentially dropping to 7,300 points. Additionally, the semiconductor sector has already broken technical support, the AI sector may be adversely affected by election policies, and both gold and silver have already peaked; the true market bottom is still far from being reached.
