MEXICO CITY — The Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV) registered a strong advance of 1.76% on Thursday, with its main indicator, the Price and Quotation Index (IPC), climbing to 61,553.58 units. This marks its sixth record close so far in September, occurring during a trading session with gains worldwide.

In the first nine sessions of the month, the Mexican index has tallied six record closes, the previous one occurring on Tuesday with 60,679.53 units, and three last week.

"The capital market closed the session with widespread gains globally due to the expectation that the Federal Reserve will resume its cycle of cuts," explained Gabriela Siller, Director of Economic and Financial Analysis at Banco Base, to EFE.

In Mexico, the expert indicated, the IPC "closed the session with a gain of 1.76%, the largest advance since August 7th (when it gained 1.94%), to reach a new historical maximum of 61,553.58 points."

Internally, Siller noted, the advances of the issuers stood out: Grupo México (+1.3%), Industrias Peñoles (+2.77%), Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste (+2.99%), América Móvil (+1.2%), and Bimbo (+1.98%).
