The average price of the dollar in Mexico today is $17.38 pesos per unit. During the previous session, the Mexican peso registered a gain of 0.21%, favored by a lower strength of the dollar in international markets.

The Bank of Mexico (Banxico) reported that the official closing of the dollar corresponding to Wednesday, June 10, was $17.4061 pesos per unit, a figure calculated based on the average of operations carried out by banking institutions.

According to Dow Jones data, at the opening this Thursday the US currency was quoted at $17.39 Mexican pesos. This represents a decrease of 0.13% compared to the previous close of $17.42 pesos per currency.
