UK industrial production rose 0.2% month-on-month and 0.6% year-on-year in July 2026, beating forecasts and rebounding from June declines. Mexico’s industrial production increased 0.5% month-on-month and 2.7% year-on-year, its strongest annual growth since April 2024, while gross fixed investment rose 7.7% in June. The stronger Mexican data supported the peso near 16.98 per U.S. dollar, close to its more than two-year high of 16.91 reached on September 4, although expectations of a September Federal Reserve rate increase supported the dollar and could narrow the U.S.-Mexico interest-rate differential. Banxico kept its key rate at 6.50%.
