Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Banxico's September minutes showed a unanimous hold at 6.50%, with a dovish tilt: three members saw room for a cut on November 5, while two urged caution. Headline inflation rose to 3.42% y/y, core eased to 3.79%, but services inflation stayed sticky at 4.33%. The board signalled willingness to decouple from the more restrictive Fed, whose rate now sits at 3.75%-4.00%. Scotiabank keeps its 2026 terminal rate forecast at 6.50%, treating a November cut as possible but not base case.

Key arguments
- Banxico unanimously held the policy rate at 6.50%, judging policy still restrictive for inflation convergence.
- Three of five members saw conditions for a cut on November 5, but several stressed decisions must stay data-dependent.
- The board signalled willingness to decouple from a more restrictive Federal Reserve, whose target range is 3.75%-4.00%.
- Services inflation remains sticky at 4.33%, and upside risks persist from geopolitics and trade-policy uncertainty.
