Mexico Stocks Fall 1.25% Amid Inflation Spike and US Tech Sell-Off
What happened

This market decline occurred alongside a 2.60% drop in the Nasdaq, which was pressured by a US technology sell-off.

Why it matters
The hotter-than-expected inflation data reduced expectations for an early interest rate cut by Banxico. The spillover from the US technology sell-off added downward pressure to global equity markets.
