The Mexican peso depreciated near 2% to touch 20.8 per USD, its lowest level since November 6th 2020 and extending losses for a sixth straight session, weighed down by rising US bond yields. The currency has also been under pressure amid concerns about a hit to Mexico's key manufacturing sector caused by a deep freeze in Texas last week which left millions without electricity. In particular, Texas’s outages forced major manufacturers across parts of Northern Mexico to suspend activities which may knock around 5% off industrial production this month.
