SocGen Previews Mexico's Central Bank Policy Decision Later Thursday

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 06/26/25 08:23 AM EDT

08:23 AM EDT, 06/26/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Societe Generale said it expects Mexico's central bank (Banxico) to deliver its fourth straight policy rate cut of 50bps and lower the key overnight policy rate to 8.0% on Thursday.

Headline inflation edged up to 4.42% year over year in May after returning to the 2%-4% target range earlier this year, but trade-/tariff-related uncertainty and falling investments caused the economy to grind to a virtual standstill, wrote the bank in a note to clients.

A dovish 50bp cut is on the table but Banxico's Monetary Policy Committee could split on 25bps/50bps and lean towards more gradual easing in H2, stated SocGen.

The bank's house call is 7.25% by year-end and 6.50% in 2026 but with upside risks. An impressive 2.2% bounce from Monday's low saw the peso (MXN) buyers resurface near the 50dma (19.35).

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
