Mexico: 1H-August CPI – Food items keep pushing annual rates higher

  • Headline inflation rose 0.42% 2w/2w, surprising higher once again. Most of the increase was driven by the core (0.49%)

  • Hence, annual headline inflation reached 8.62% from 8.14%, with the core also higher at 7.97% from 7.75%

  • We reiterate our view of a 75bps hike by Banxico on September 29th, with the rate by year-end at 10.00%
