The Mexican peso appreciated 0.2% to close at 16.9971 units per US dollar on August 31, 2026, according to data from the Bank of Mexico (Banxico). [^2]

The Mexican peso depreciated by 0.03% to close at 17.0026 pesos per US dollar on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, returning to the 17-unit level. [^3]

According to Felipe Mendoza, a market analyst at EBC Financial Group, the Mexican peso opened the trading session of Monday 2026-08-31 around 17.03 pesos per dollar, essentially unchanged from Friday's close. [^4]

Banco de México, Mexico's central bank, reported that the exchange rate closed on Friday 2026-08-28 at 17.0308 pesos per dollar after a depreciation of 0.35% and that the peso traded at 17.02373 in early electronic operations on Sunday night. [^5]

Felipe Mendoza predicted a trading range of 16.98-17.10 pesos per dollar on 2026-08-31 and said the interest-rate differential remains favorable to the peso, but that appreciation margins could be reduced until additional US data is published. [^6]

US Federal Reserve president Kevin Sawyer said after the Jackson Hole meeting he left open the possibility of further monetary tightening if US inflation does not make enough progress toward the central bank's target, and his comments raised market expectations of a possible rate increase in September 2026. [^7]

Felipe Mendoza, an analyst at EBC Financial Group, stated that the interest rate differential offered by Banxico acts as a buffer for the peso, but manufacturing deterioration and agricultural inflation risks limit further appreciation. [^8]

Mendoza warned that the trading session on September 1 could be volatile, with the exchange rate expected to fluctuate between 16.95 and 17.08 pesos per dollar. [^9]

President Claudia Sheinbaum is scheduled to present her Second Government Report at the Palacio Nacional, with investors watching for announcements on investments or special projects. [^10]
