US dollar to Mexican peso - Recent Trend
USD - MXN - Forecasts & News
After hitting a near 2021 low at 19.7, in June the US Dollar has risen back up the important psychological level of 20 against the Mexican Peso towards the end of July. USD-MXN Forecasts
The Mexican peso continued its good run in 2020 hitting the significant value of 20 to the US dollar November 23rd, as the oil price continues to improve and investors look for higher yield investments. The peso fortunes are connected to the oil market with oil high on the list of Mexico’s top exports.
US interest also affect the peso because Mexico holds high levels of dollar-denominated debt, which becomes easier to repay when dollars are cheap and US rates are low.
Cash remittances to South America have defied predictions of a large Covid related drop. The World Bank's prediction in April was dire; Cash transfers from immigrants in the U.S. to family in Latin America would plummet 19% due to the pandemic. However with remittances surging, the level of money being sent is roughly equal with 2019.
Last week saw the US Dollar slowly but surely grind its way higher against all its Rivals. USD Forecasts
How to get a good USD to MXN Exchange Rate
There are two important ways to save on Foreign Exchange, the first is minimising unnecessary or excessive costs and fees, and the other is to transact when the exchange rate is in your favour.
Reduce Excessive costs and fees
All foreign exchange providers charge a fee for providing their service and this fee is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).
The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.
Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.
