The next Banco de México (Banxico) policy decision is scheduled for Sep 24. Because Banco de México sets monetary policy for the MXN, its rate decisions and forward guidance are among the most important scheduled catalysts for MXN exchange rates, and sell-side FX desks reposition their MXN forecasts around each meeting. FX Bank Forecast tracks how the major investment banks' MXN targets shift before and after Banxico decisions, so you can see whether the consensus is moving with the policy path or diverging from it. Watching the cross-bank reaction to each meeting is often a more durable signal than any single house call.
Banco de México's policy lean is read from its most recent decisions and guidance. A more hawkish stance — biased toward higher-for-longer rates — tends to be supportive of the MXN, while a dovish, easing-biased stance tends to weigh on it, though the market reaction always depends on what was already priced in. What matters for MXN forecasting is less the stance in isolation than how it compares with what investment banks expected and how it shifts the projected rate path. FX Bank Forecast aggregates how 36 major banks read the Banxico path and translates it into where the MXN consensus and its dispersion sit.
Monetary-policy expectations are one of the dominant drivers of currency moves, so Banco de México's decisions — and, just as importantly, how they compare with other central banks — feed directly into where strategists set their MXN targets. Relative policy paths (the Banxico versus the Fed and other majors), the pace of cuts or hikes, and the tone of guidance are the channels through which Banxico actions transmit into the MXN. FX Bank Forecast compares the published MXN forecasts of 36 major investment banks side by side and shows how that consensus — and the spread of views around it — shifts as the Banxico outlook evolves.
