USDMXN rebounds today after the sharp sell-off that started one month ago after the improvement in investors sentiment as the markets began to discount the reopening of the economies around the globe.
Investors shift their attention to more risky assets such as stocks and emerging markets currencies. On the data front, the Mexico Headline Inflation came in at 0.38% below the expectations of 0.5% in May. The 12-Month Inflation registered in at 2.84% below the forecasts of 2.97% in May. The Core Inflation came in at 0.3% below the expectations of 0.4%.
From the United States, the JOLTS Job Openings came in at 5.046M topping the expectations of 5M in April. The Wholesale Inventories registered in at 0.3%, below the forecasts of 0.4%. The United States IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism month over fell to 47 in June from previous 49.7.
Risk-off sentiment as the stocks have reached three-month highs might trigger some buying interest for USD, and I would not be surprised if the pair break above the 22.00 mark.
