Dollar price today, Sunday, August 17: this is how it stands against the Mexican peso

Although there are no banking operations on Sundays, the dollar continues to be closely monitored by both markets and those conducting transactions in Mexico. The exchange rate reflects the interaction between domestic and global factors that determine the exchange rate trend.

As of August 17, the dollar stands at 18.74 pesos per unit , depreciating 0.29% compared to Friday's close. This indicates a slight recovery for the Mexican peso after a week of ups and downs.

At banks and currency exchange offices, prices vary: Banco Azteca offers 17.55 pesos to buy and 19.24 to sell; Citibanamex, 18.19 to buy and 19.23 to sell; Monex, 17.89 to buy and 19.77 to sell. Banorte and BBVA Bancomer also show slight differences in their quotes.

Experts emphasize that the relationship between the Mexican and U.S. economies keeps the peso stable. According to analysts, the recent meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin helped stabilize the peso, which depreciated 0.75% during the week of August 11-15, equivalent to a loss of 14 cents.

For those planning to buy dollars, it's recommended to take advantage of the slight drop in the exchange rate, taking into account bank and exchange fees. Furthermore, the dollar's performance this weekend can predict how the next week will begin in international markets, especially given economic news from the United States and decisions by the Federal Reserve.
