USD/MXN Price Analysis: Back above 20.00, losing momentum

USD/MXN rises for the third consecutive day, again above 20.00.
The dollar needs to hold above 20.00, next resistance at 20.15/20.
Slide under 19.90 to remove bullish bias.

The USD/MXN is rising for the third consecutive day, although so far, it has failed to print fresh weekly highs. The upside remains capped below 20.10. The next critical resistance is seen around 20.15/20, an area that contains horizontal resistances and also the 100-day Simple Moving Average.

A firm break above 20.25 would open the doors to more gains targeting the 20.50 area.

In the very short term, the bias is to the upside, with technical indicators flat to bullish. The momentum is not strong enough and appears to be fading. The bias will weaken with a decline back under 20.00. While a daily close well above 20.00 would be a positive sign for the bulls.

A key support emerges at 19.90 that if fails to hold, USD/MXN could drop further to test again the 19.80 area.

AUD/USD looks weaker, focus is back to 0.7100

AUD/USD reverses Tuesday’s gains and retreats markedly toward four-day troughs in the low 0.7100s ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The firmer tone in the Greenback weighs on the risk complex amid unabated tensions on the US-Iran front, prompting the Aussie to shed part of recent gains and refocus on the downside. Moving forward, Australian trade balance results should entertain investors early on Thursday.

The upside-down math of debt

In 2010, Professors Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff published a paper, Growth in a Time of Debt, which instantly went viral. The main thesis of the paper was that once a government's debt-to-GDP ratio crosses above 90%, a financial crisis and default are around the corner.

Recession on paper: What really moves the Canadian Loonie now?

Statistics Canada handed the headline writers a gift and the analysts a headache. Real GDP shrank 0.1% on an annualized basis in the first quarter, and with the fourth quarter of 2025 revised down to a 1.0% contraction, that is two negative quarters in a row, the textbook definition of a technical recession and Canada's first since the pandemic.
