The Mexican peso was trading at 20.4 per USD, down slightly from a one-week high of 20.3 touched on August 4th, after a robust US jobs report for July raised bets of another large hike by the Federal Reserve, lifting the dollar. Meanwhile, Mexico's consumer prices rose higher than expected in early July, boosting expectations of further interest rate hikes as the central bank struggles to tame stubbornly high inflation. However, the Bank of America has downgraded its 2023 growth forecast for Mexico's economy to 0% from 1% amid a potential U.S downturn, predicting the country will reach the brink of recession.
