The peso depreciated this Friday on the tenth day of the partial closure of the US government, in a market with its sights set on the comments of several Federal Reserve (Fed) officials at different public events.
The peso was trading at 18.4070 per dollar, with a loss of 0.11% compared to the LSEG reference price on Thursday.
“In the absence of an agreement between Republicans and Democrats on the debt ceiling, the US government is in its tenth day of closure, calling into question the publication of the inflation data scheduled for October 15,” Grupo Financiero Ve por Más said in an analysis note.
Throughout the day, Fed authorities Austan Goolsbee, Alberto Musalem and Mary Daly are expected to speak about current economic events at various events.
