Key quotes

"MXN OIS suggests a 25bp hike is fully priced in and the majority of analysts are also expecting a move. We sit in the minority with our call for no change in rates. Price pressures continue to ease and although currency depreciation does pose an inflationary risk further out, pass-through has generally been slightly lower and taken longer."

"Tariffs do, however, pose a risk of rising cost-push inflationary pressures. We see risk of further MXN depreciation heading into the July 1st Presidential election regardless of rates and as such, we expect Banxico to keep its powder dry until after then."
