FX.co ★ Mexico’s Core Inflation Edges Down to 4.50% in February, Signaling Subtle Disinflation Trend

Mexico’s month-over-month core inflation eased slightly in February 2026, with the indicator slipping to 4.50% from 4.52% in January 2026, according to data updated on 9 March 2026. The move, though marginal, points to a modest continuation of disinflation in underlying price pressures.

The comparison is made on a month-over-month basis, meaning the February reading reflects the change in core prices from January to February, while the previous figure captured the change from December to January. The small decline suggests that core inflation, which strips out more volatile components, is stabilizing but remains elevated, a dynamic that policymakers and markets are likely to monitor closely in the coming months.
