Peso Rises to 18.42 vs Dollar After US Deal

The Mexican peso began the week with an uptick against the U.S. dollar, following an agreement reached by Republican and Democratic legislators in the United States to advance a federal funding bill, a move that would help avert another government shutdown.

During the first minutes of this Monday, November 10, 2025, the exchange rate stood at 18.42 pesos per dollar, showing a gain of 0.38 percent compared to the previous week, according to data from Investing.

Agreement in U.S. Congress Boosts Markets

The peso's recovery comes after a Sunday vote in the U.S. Senate, where eight Democratic senators—Dick Durbin, Jacky Rosen, John Fetterman, Catherine Masto, Jeanne Shaheen, Maggie Hassan, Tim Kaine, and the independent Angus King—were key to approving the advancement of the bill.

With this decision, the U.S. Congress prepares to put an end to the longest government paralysis in its history, while financial markets await the reaction of President Donald Trump.

"The agreement generates confidence among investors and provides a temporary respite for emerging markets like Mexico," highlighted financial analysts.
