The Mexican peso continues to demonstrate strength in international markets this Wednesday, June 25, 2025, consolidating its upward trajectory against the U.S. dollar and other global currencies.
According to data from the Banco de México (Banxico), the dollar closed at 18.99 pesos per unit, while some sources report an average exchange rate of 18.98 pesos. This represents a significant appreciation compared to levels of 19.14 pesos recorded just a few days ago.
Analysts attribute this strengthening mainly to two key factors
On the one hand, the easing of geopolitical tensions with the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran reducing risk aversion, thereby weakening the dollar in global markets and benefiting the Mexican peso.
On the other hand, U.S. monetary policy has also played a role. Recent statements by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell have moderated expectations of immediate rate cuts, generating favorable movements toward currencies such as the Mexican peso.
More Than Just a Good Day Against the Dollar
The peso has also shown strength against other major currencies. For instance, the Canadian dollar is trading at around 13.80 pesos, highlighting the peso’s global competitiveness. This appreciation strengthens the purchasing power of Mexican companies and importers.
Although Banxico projects an average exchange rate close to 20 pesos per dollar by year-end, the trend observed this month suggests that the peso retains its capacity for recovery even amid international challenges and economic tensions.
It is worth noting that a strong peso tends to keep the prices of imported goods in check, reducing inflationary pressures. Moreover, businesses and the government benefit when the local currency appreciates against dollar-denominated obligations, while exchange rate stability improves conditions for attracting foreign direct investment.
While the peso faces risks stemming from global factors such as trade disputes or changes in U.S. monetary policy, recent movements point to a sustained recovery. If geopolitical conditions continue to improve and Banxico maintains economic stability, the Mexican peso could extend its positive momentum.
