Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Natixis reports Mexican H1-October headline inflation at 0.41% two-week versus 0.38% expected, with non-core inflation now solidly above 3.0% y/y after near 1% a few months earlier. Core edged up to 3.78% y/y, apparently past its September low. With firm IGAE activity data and a weaker peso amid equity risk-off, the team sees materially diminished room for a Banxico rate cut. Natixis also expects the FOMC to hold, upper bound at 4.00%.

Key arguments
- Mexican non-core inflation has shifted from a disinflationary anchor near 1% y/y to solidly above 3.0% y/y.
- Core inflation appears to have bottomed in September and is now edging higher, at 3.78% y/y in H1 October.
- Strong IGAE activity nowcasts and peso depreciation on equity risk-off materially reduce scope for a Banxico cut.
- Natixis reads Banxico minutes as signaling it will not mechanically mirror Fed tightening rather than flagging an imminent cut.

Main risks
- If non-core inflation keeps accelerating, Banxico easing expectations could be repriced further.
- Peso weakness driven by equity risk-off could add imported inflation pressure.
- Natixis's read of the minutes is interpretive; Banxico could still cut earlier than assumed.
