FX.co ★ Mexico’s Monthly Inflation Accelerates in August as CPI Rises 0.20%

Mexico’s consumer price growth picked up in August 2026, with the month-over-month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.20%, according to data updated on 9 September 2026. The reading marks an acceleration from July 2026, when CPI inched up by just 0.03% compared with the previous month.

The data, measured on a month-over-month basis, show that price pressures intensified between July and August. While July’s almost flat increase had suggested subdued short-term inflation momentum, August’s stronger advance indicates a mild but noticeable reacceleration in consumer prices heading into late Q3.

Investors and analysts tracking Mexico’s inflation path will be watching whether this uptick develops into a broader trend or remains a one-off move following July’s unusually soft print, as it may influence expectations around future monetary policy decisions and the broader economic outlook.
