In Mexico City International Airport exchange centers, the average sale price was 19.11 pesos per dollar and was bought at 17.72 pesos. The highest price of dollar sale was 19.15 pesos, while for purchase the lowest cost was 17.70 pesos.
The Bank of Mexico reported that the exchange rate for Tuesday was 18.7915 pesos per US dollar. At the close of Monday’s session, the peso ended with a loss of 1.09 percent, trading around 18.83 pesos.
According to the UBS Financial Group, the spot exchange rate would see levels of up to 19.25 pesos until the end of the third quarter, which would mean peso levels above 19.50 in the retail market.
