The Mexican peso is on track to post its seventh straight weekly loss, trading at 18.7514 per US dollar as of 23 October 2026 with a 0.28% daily decline.[^1]

Bloomberg data recorded the peso at 18.66 per US dollar on the same date, up 5 centavos from the 22 October close.[^2]

Narrowing interest rate differentials between Mexico and the United States are unwinding carry trade positions that previously supported the peso.[^3]

Specialists have stated this reduced rate gap has lowered the currency's attractiveness for carry trade operations.[^4]
