Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Natixis expects one more Fed hike in December and an elevated U.S. Treasury curve, keeping the Mexican peso under pressure. Banxico held its policy rate at 6.50% unanimously in September, stating it will not react mechanically to U.S. monetary policy but will monitor FX pass-through, the output gap and inflation expectations. If peso depreciation feeds inflation sufficiently, Banxico will tighten. Natixis forecasts MXN at 18.00–18.50 in H1 2027 and moves two expected Banxico hikes from H2 2027 to H1 2027.

Key arguments
- One additional Fed hike is expected in December, with the U.S. Treasury curve remaining elevated, sustaining peso depreciation.
- Banxico held the policy rate at 6.50% unanimously and explicitly said it won't react mechanically to U.S. monetary policy, citing different economic cycle stages.
- Banxico will tighten if FX pass-through sufficiently affects inflation, alongside the output gap and inflation expectations.
- Natixis now expects two Banxico hikes in H1 2027 instead of H2 2027, with MXN at 18.00–18.50 in H1 2027.
Key numbers
- Banxico policy rate (Sep 2026 decision)
- 6.50%
- Forecast Banxico policy rate (end-2027)
- 7.00%
- MXN forecast range H1 2027
- 18.00–18.50
- Expected Fed hikes
- one additional hike in December
- 2028 fiscal deficit target (Mexico)
- 9.4% of GDP
Main risks
- MXN depreciation is described as unavoidable under the base scenario, but a sharper sell-off could force faster Banxico tightening.
- The claim that the U.S. and Mexico are at different economic cycle stages is controversial because Mexico's growth remains closely linked to U.S. growth.
