The markets' attention remained focused on the monetary policy decision announced by the Governing Board of the Bank of Mexico. Unanimously, the central bank decided to maintain the reference rate at 6.50%, considering that the current level continues to be adequate to face the economic environment and drive inflation towards its objective.
"The Governing Board considers that it will be appropriate to maintain the reference rate at its current level. It judges that the monetary stance is appropriate to face the challenges of the macroeconomic environment, including those derived from the international context," said the Governing Board of the Bank of Mexico (Banxico).
On the other hand, oil prices recorded a drop of close to 3% and are shaping up to be a week of losses. The decline comes after concerns about possible disruptions to global supply eased as oil tankers resumed transit through the Strait of Hormuz despite a reported attack on a cargo ship near Oman.
