Summary:USD/MXN trades around 16.91, extending a decline that has pushed the pair to levels last seen in 2024. Mexico's headline inflation accelerated to 3.26% in the first half of August, although the reading was below market expectations.

This move has begun to limit the recent gains of the Mexican peso, even after the release of Mexico's preliminary inflation figures, which so far have not been strong enough to trigger a significant positive reaction in the currency.
