Mexican Economy Minister says they are better off tariff wise after last Friday as they went from paying 25% to 15% in non-USMCA goods.

The comments from the Mexican Economy Minister indicate a positive shift in trade terms, as tariffs on non-USMCA goods have significantly decreased from 25% to 15%. This reduction could bolster Mexico’s economic competitiveness and enhance trade flows, which may have implications for US-Mexico relations and broader geopolitical dynamics. Watching for potential reactions in FX, particularly in the MXN and broader commodities markets, will be important.
