China’s foreign exchange reserves rose by USD 4.9 billion to USD 3.405 trillion in October 2026, marking a 0.14% increase from USD 3.400 trillion in September. The increase was influenced by global macroeconomic data, monetary policies, and expectations in major economies. The US dollar index rose, while prices of major global financial assets fluctuated.

The Mexican peso strengthened to around 18.6 per USD in November, recovering from a slump triggered by Banxico’s unexpected cut of its benchmark rate to 6.25%. The narrower rate differential with the US Federal Reserve reduces the appeal of peso-denominated carry trades, weighing on the currency. Banxico also revised its forward guidance, signaling that rates would remain at the new level for an “extended period.” The peso partially recovered after the post-decision move amid optimism over US-Mexico trade talks. Democrats won a majority of congressional seats in the US midterm elections; a Democratic majority could constrain some of President Trump’s trade policy decisions. While USMCA-compliant goods were exempted from Trump administration tariffs, additional tariffs remained on steel, aluminum and automotive imports.

Brazil’s 10-year government bond yield trimmed gains to hover around 15.19% in November after President Lula reassured markets on fiscal adjustment. Lula reiterated that his government is committed to fiscal responsibility while also considering social responsibility, amid pressure to announce adjustment measures and a drop in Brazilian assets after his late-October reelection. Investors remain focused on fiscal policy, especially the government’s commitment to controlling spending and public debt, which has risen significantly in recent years. Meanwhile, US nonfarm payrolls increased by 165,000 last month, topping all forecasts, and the unemployment rate edged lower. The stronger figures reinforced expectations that the Fed will maintain a restrictive stance. Higher-for-longer rates in advanced economies could also pressure the BCB to keep policy restrictive. The BCB held the Selic rate at 13.75% at its latest meeting, pausing its easing cycle.
