The peso mexicano remains the operational fulcrum for China Mexico export factories that invoice in USD and pay local costs in MXN. In the weekend window of Saturday 12 September and Sunday 13 September 2026 the market was technically closed for interbank fixing in Mexico City, yet pricing risk continued to accumulate for factories with order confirmations and settlement dates that straddle non-trading days. This record focuses on that volatility window and on practical hedging discipline.
💡 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
