• Stronger than expected US JOLTS data and Powell’s comments support a bullish bias in USD/MXN.

The Mexican Peso loses some ground versus the US Dollar on Tuesday as the Mexican Congress begins its General Session ahead of President-Elect Claudia Sheinbaum's swearing-in ceremony. The exotic pair advances following Middle East headlines suggesting an Iranian missile attack on Israel. The USD/MXN trades at 19.70, up 0.15%.

Wall Street reflects a downbeat market mood due to heightened geopolitical risks. This sparked flows toward the Greenback due to its safe-haven status, which was detrimental to the Peso’s emerging market status.

Mexico’s economic docket remains absent, with traders awaiting remarks from President Claudia Sheinbaum as she takes office. Across the north of the border, the US schedule featured the release of the August JOLTS report, which was better than expected and exceeded the July number.

The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) revealed the September Manufacturing PMI, which remained in contractionary territory but was unchanged compared to August.
