Fundamental view
Mexico’s annualized industrial production probably expanded 3.7% in April, according to the median forecast by experts, following another 0.7% increase in March. In monthly terms, nation’s industrial production probably rose 0.3% last month. The index reflects the change in overall inflation-adjusted value of output in sectors such as manufacturing, mining and utilities. In case output expanded more than anticipated, this would have a bullish effect on the peso.
Insituto Nacional de Estadistica Y Geografia is expected to release the official report at 13:00 GMT.
