As of February 14, 2026, the dollar exchange rate in Mexico stands at 17.17 pesos per dollar, marking a decrease of 0.32% compared to previous rates. The appreciation of the Mexican peso was noted recently, with the currency recovering from initial losses earlier in the week, influenced by the release of lower-than-expected inflation figures from the United States. This revelation has triggered a positive response in the financial markets.

The strength of the Mexican peso has been further supported by indications of stabilization within the U.S. labor market, characterized by an increase in hiring rates and a decline in unemployment. By the end of the trading day, the Mexican peso was priced at 17.1581 per dollar, reflecting a gain of 0.36%. Analysts suggest that these economic factors will continue to affect the exchange rate dynamics as markets respond to fluctuations in external economic indicators.

Looking ahead, market analysts, such as Felipe Mendoza from EBC Financial Group, express a cautious outlook for the coming week, predicting that volatility may persist as investors respond defensively to ongoing economic developments. Additionally, the impending long weekend in the United States due to Presidents' Day may influence trading behavior, further affecting the exchange rate in the days ahead.
