USD/MXN Price Analysis: Consolidates its recent slide to multi-year low, hovers around 16.75

USD/MXN remains confined in a narrow trading band near its lowest level since December 2015.
The formation of a descending channel points to a well-established downtrend and favours bears.
A sustained strength beyond the 17.30-40 confluence is needed to negate the negative outlook.

The USD/MXN pair oscillates in a narrow range around the 16.75 region through the Asian session on Monday and consolidates its recent losses to the lowest level since December 2015.

From a technical perspective, the decline witnessed over the past four months or so has been along a downward-sloping channel, which points to a well-established short-term bearish trend. Furthermore, the USD/MXN pair's inability to attract any meaningful buying suggests that the path of least resistance is to the downside. The negative outlook is reinforced by the underlying bearish sentiment surrounding the US Dollar (USD), led by firming expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) is nearing the end of its rate-hiking cycle.

That said, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart is already flashing oversold conditions and warrants some caution before placing fresh bearish bets around the USD/MXN pair. Hence, any subsequent fall below the multi-year low, around the 16.70 region is more likely to find decent support near the lower end of the aforementioned trend-channel, currently pegged near the 16.6240 area. That said, some follow-through selling will mark a fresh breakdown and pave the way for a further near-term depreciating move.

On the flip side, the 16.85-16.90 area now seems to act as an immediate hurdle ahead of the 17.00 round figure. This is followed by resistance near the 17.10-17.15 region, which if cleared might trigger a short-covering move and lift the USD/MXN pair beyond the 17.25 intermediate barrier, towards testing the 17.30-17.35 confluence. The latter comprises the ascending channel resistance and the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and also nears the monthly swing high. A sustained strength beyond could negate the near-term bearish outlook.

GBP/USD appears well offered near 1.3160

GBP/USD builds on Tuesday’s losses, although it now manages to pick up some pace and bounce off earlier multi-month troughs near 1.3140.

Gold struggles near YTD lows on hawkish Fed bets, bullish USD ahead of US PCE

Gold is seen consolidating around $4,000 during the Asian session on Thursday as bears pause following the overnight slump to the lowest level since November 2025. Despite easing inflationary concerns amid falling oil prices, elevated Fed rate-hike bets help the US Dollar preserve its recent strong gains to the highest level since May 2025. This might continue to undermine the non-yielding bullion as the focus shifts to the release of the US PCE Price Index.

US-Iran talks: The next 60 days will decide where Oil prices go next

Oil markets received some encouraging news after weeks of rising tensions in the Middle East. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves: we’re far from victory, and markets just seem to have priced out the worst-case scenario. The US and Iran have reportedly made "substantive progress" in talks in Switzerland and agreed on a framework for working toward a broader deal within 60 days.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
