Financial markets are facing a moment of high volatility, influenced by the restrictive monetary policy of the Federal Reserve, the disruption of DeepSeek in the technology sector, and increasing geopolitical tensions. These events are likely to generate volatility in the Mexican peso and other currencies during announcements.
One key event will be the publication of annual and quarterly Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data for Mexico tomorrow, which could also influence market behavior. The Mexican peso closed Tuesday's session at 20.54 and today is moving in a range between 20.56 and 20.47, showing an appreciation of 1.09% against the dollar.
In Europe, the European Central Bank (ECB) is facing pressure to accelerate interest rate cuts amid signs of economic slowdown. Meanwhile, the fear and greed index has fallen to 41/100, reflecting greater caution among investors in the market.
In Canada, the announcement of the interest rate decision is expected, with expectations of a cut from 3.25% to 3.00%. This move comes in the context of a recovery following aggressive statements by Trump regarding tariffs in various Latin American countries. Additionally, the release of positive employment data in Mexico is highlighted as a key factor.
Globally, U.S. President Donald Trump plans to impose tariffs on semiconductors and pharmaceuticals from Taiwan, increasing trade uncertainty. Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Reserve is keeping interest rates unchanged as investors adjust their expectations regarding future cuts.
The emergence of DeepSeek has caused a reorganization in the artificial intelligence industry, with major impacts such as the loss of $465 billion in capitalization by Nvidia before a partial recovery. Additionally, the shipment of Patriot missiles from Israel to Ukraine is highlighted, intensifying the geopolitical scenario and generating further concerns in the markets.
