Elevated Treasury yields widen spread, lifting US Dollar demand

A sharp bear steepening in US Treasury yields, with 30-year rates holding above 5% for four consecutive days for the first time since 2007, has drawn market attention. This rise in long-term US rates increases the yield differential between the US Dollar and Mexican Peso, lending direct support to the US Dollar in currency markets. The impact of these elevated yields continues to drive demand for the US Dollar vs Mexican Peso.

Mixed momentum signals as price tests key resistance zones

USD/MXN is trading above the MA-20 at Mex$17.3342, while remaining below the MA-50 at Mex$17.4969 and MA-200 at Mex$17.7703. Immediate resistance is seen at the Ichimoku Kijun level of Mex$17.3731, just above the current price. Daily MACD signals strong selling pressure, whereas ADX remains neutral, indicating weak trend strength. RSI and CCI predict continued softness without oversold conditions; Stoch RSI points to strong short-term selling, while BBP shows buyers regaining some intraday control. The price is near the session’s high, suggesting persistent upward momentum on an intraday basis despite mixed broader momentum indicators.

Sideways bias persists as weak trends cap upside potential

For the coming week, USD/MXN is expected to trade within a band of Mex$17.36 to Mex$17.50, consistent with typical weekly volatility. The probability of further upside remains low, as indicated by persistent weak readings on weekly trend indicators, favoring an eventual move lower. The baseline scenario is for continued sideways consolidation as buyers repeatedly test but do not clearly break above resistance. Should the price fall back below Mex$17.33, a bearish scenario could unfold with increased risk of further declines.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees USD/MXN supported by the sharp rise in long-term US yields. He notes that near-term momentum favors buyers, but technical indicators show weak trend strength and resistance remains firm at Mex$17.3731. The analyst remains cautious, pointing out that a failure to hold above Mex$17.33 could trigger fresh declines. "Until we see a clear breakout above resistance, I expect sideways movement with a slight downside bias."

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/MXN was entrenched in a bearish trend, with downward momentum dominating the pair. Current price action, buoyed by persistently high US long-term yields but failing to break above key resistance, suggests traders should watch for renewed downside risk if USD/MXN slips decisively below Mex$17.33 in the sessions ahead.
