- Despite the broad weakness for the greenback on Monday, USDMXN had a brief flurry back up to 19.39 earlier in the session and remains a touch higher on the session, with some analysts exercising caution that the most recent peso recovery may fail to garner further momentum.
- Indeed, despite the move through the 20-day EMA, overall conditions suggest the move lower for USDMXN over the past few sessions is considered corrective. The next key support to watch lies at 19.0575, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this average, would undermine a bullish theme and expose 18.5999, the Aug 16 low.
- For bulls, a break back above the 20-day EMA (currently at 19.5240) would be a bullish development. A further resumption of gains would refocus attention on key resistance and the bull trigger at 20.2181, the Aug 5 high.
- Amid today’s national holiday, the economic calendar remains light this week, with just Aggregate Supply and Demand data due on Wednesday. Retail sales and economic activity will cross next week.
