Buy the rumor, sell the news?
Overall market volatility has remained limited, with the Peso among the biggest movers. Despite today’s recovery, USD/MXN still remains sharply higher compared to the levels it had back in December.
A consolidation below 21.45 could open the doors from a more significant bearish correction while on the flip side, above 22.00, the rally could resume.
