墨西哥比索飆升至2015年以來最高水平，超出預期

週五，墨西哥比索（「超級比索」）兌美元匯率升至16.46 比索，為2015 年11 月以來的最高水平。儘管美元走強，但由於樂觀情緒和緊縮措施，比索仍保持彈性，這與專家的預測相悖。洛佩斯·奧夫拉多爾總統將比索的強勢歸因於消除腐敗和增強投資信心。分析師預計短期內比索兌美元匯率將在16.41至16.67比索之間波動，而美元預計將保持強勢。然而，即將於 2024 年墨西哥和美國舉行的總統選舉可能會為貨幣市場帶來波動。

Mexican Peso Soars to New Heights, Defying Predictions

墨西哥比索飆升至新高度，超乎預期

Mexico City, April 8 (Reuters) - The Mexican peso extended its upward trajectory on Friday, reaching its strongest level against the US dollar since November 2015. The currency opened at 16.47 pesos per dollar and closed at an even more favorable rate of 16.46, according to Reuters.

路透社墨西哥城4月8日 - 墨西哥比索週五延續上行趨勢，兌美元匯率達到2015年11月以來的最高水平。該貨幣開盤價為1美元兌換16.47比索，收盤價為更有利的16.46比索。據路透社報道。

This impressive performance marks a continuation of the peso's defiance against expert predictions, despite a strengthening US dollar. Even a recent rate cut by the Bank of Mexico (Banxico) failed to dampen optimism, according to Eduardo Ramos, senior market strategist for HFM Markets.

儘管美元走強，但這一令人印象深刻的表現標誌著比索繼續違背專家的預測。 HFM Markets 高級市場策略師 Eduardo Ramos 表示，即使墨西哥央行 (Banxico) 最近降息也未能抑制樂觀情緒。

Ramos attributed the peso's resilience to government austerity measures and reduced corruption. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador echoed this sentiment in his Friday morning press conference, stating that the exchange rate gains were a direct result of the country's crackdown on corruption and increased investor confidence.

拉莫斯將比索的堅挺歸功於政府的緊縮措施和減少腐敗。總統安德烈斯·曼努埃爾·洛佩斯·奧夫拉多爾在周五上午的新聞發布會上回應了這一觀點，表示匯率上漲是該國打擊腐敗和增強投資者信心的直接結果。

The strength of the US labor market, as evidenced by the March jobs report released on Friday, also contributed to the peso's upward momentum. While the dollar has appreciated against a basket of major currencies this year, the peso has remained unfazed.

正如週五發布的三月就業報告所證明的，美國勞動市場的強勁也推動了比索的上漲勢頭。儘管今年美元兌一籃子主要貨幣升值，但比索並未受到影響。

Analysts at Banco Base project the peso to fluctuate within a narrow range of 16.41 to 16.67 per dollar in the near term. However, the upcoming presidential elections in both Mexico and the United States in 2024 could introduce greater volatility to the currency markets.

Banco Base分析師預計，短期內比索將在1美元兌換16.41至16.67比索的窄幅區間內波動。然而，即將於 2024 年墨西哥和美國舉行的總統選舉可能會為貨幣市場帶來更大的波動。

The peso's resurgence has been met with optimism from the business community. Companies are expressing increased confidence in investing in Mexico, citing the stable exchange rate and the government's commitment to fiscal discipline.

比索的復甦引起了商界的樂觀情緒。由於穩定的匯率和政府對財政紀律的承諾，各公司對在墨西哥投資的信心增強。

This positive sentiment is further bolstered by the country's sound economic fundamentals, including a robust labor market and controlled inflation. The peso's strength serves as a testament to the resilience of the Mexican economy and its ability to navigate external headwinds.

該國良好的經濟基本面，包括強勁的勞動力市場和受控的通膨，進一步支撐了這種積極情緒。比索的強勢證明了墨西哥經濟的韌性及其應對外部逆風的能力。
