USDMXN's path to 17.00: a low probability forecast for month-end
Been watching $USDMXN for a while, and the recent chop around 17.30 feels like a bit of a stalemate. While the general sentiment might lean towards further MXN strength, I'm personally putting pretty low odds – maybe 20% – on us touching 17.00 by month-end. We just saw a decent swing between 17.284 and 17.345 today, and while it's tempting to project that momentum, the underlying drivers for a sustained move past current support just aren't screaming at me. It feels like there's too much lingering uncertainty to push through that level without some fresh catalyst. Happy to be wrong, of course, but that's my current read.
Agree, 17.00 seems a stretch for month-end. We're seeing range-bound action more than a clear directional push. What are you seeing as the biggest hurdle for MXN to break through current levels?
