USDMXN: Peeking at 17.60 by week's end? Odds and ends
Watching $USDMXN closely here. We've been hovering around the 17.48 mark today, with a decent range from 17.43 to 17.52. The current bid at 17.48123 is interesting given the broader market sentiment.
My take is that we've got a decent shot at seeing 17.60 by the close of Friday's session. I'd put the probability around 60%. Why? We're seeing some subtle shifts in market risk appetite globally, and while the day's movement on $USDMXN hasn't been dramatic (+0.02%), the undercurrents suggest a slight move back into USD strength against some EM currencies. The lack of a strong catalyst today means traders might be positioning for weekend news or simply unwinding some shorter-term positions that have kept it contained. A slight pick-up in oil prices could offer some counter-pressure, but it feels like the USD bid is gaining some quiet momentum. It's not a screaming signal, but a gentle nudge towards that higher level if the current range breaks upwards convincingly in the next 24-48 hours. Not advice, just my odds.
