Dollar: opening price today March 21 in Mexico

This was the behavior of the US currency during the first minutes of the day

The US dollar is trading at the opening at 20.29 Mexican pesos on average, which meant a decrease of 0.44% compared to 20.38 Mexican pesos on average the previous day.

Taking into account the last seven days, the US dollar marked a decline of 2.52%; on the contrary, in year-on-year terms, it still maintains a rise of 1.35%. If we compare the data with past days, it reverses the data of the previous day, where it ended up with an increase of 0.81%, showing that it is unable to establish a trend in the last few dates. With reference to the volatility of the last week, it is manifestly lower than that accumulated in the last year, which shows that we can say that it is going through a period of greater stability in recent times.

In the annual photo, the US dollar has reached a maximum of 21.36 Mexican pesos on average, while its lowest level has been 20.23 Mexican pesos on average. The US dollar is closer to its minimum value than to the maximum.

The Mexican peso panorama

The Mexican peso is the legal tender of Mexico and is the first currency in the world to use the $ sign, which was later taken up by the United States for the dollar.

The Mexican peso is the fifteenth most traded currency in the world, as well as the most traded in Latin America and the third on the continent only behind the US and Canadian dollars.

Currently the abbreviation MXN is used to talk about the Mexican peso, but before 1993 the acronym MXP was used.

The coins that are normally used in Mexico have a semicircular shape and have the national coat of arms on the reverse. One Mexican peso equals 100 cents. There are coins of 1, 5, 10 and 20 pesos; while in banknotes there are 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 pesos.

Blows for the weight

Currently, the Mexican peso has seen its balance hit after the arrival of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in the world, as well as other events that have marked it as electoral processes both nationally and the United States, one of Mexico's main trading partners.

Uncontrollable inflation, also as a result of COVID-19, which keeps monetary policy on hold, has also left the weight between uncertainty in the face of an almost always strengthened dollar.

During 2021, the Mexican peso closed with a 2.72% depreciation against the dollar, although it remained largely stable to trade flows and, in particular, exports to the United States.

According to the forecasts of the Banco de México (Banxico), for 2022 the Mexican peso is expected to rise to 21.34 units per dollar.

Mexico declared a quarantine on March 23, 2020 in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and kept only essential activities open, which had a hard impact on the economy that has not fully recovered.

Mexico's economy, the second largest in Latin America after Brazil, increased 5% in 2021, according to figures from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi).
