FX.co ★ Mexico’s Core Inflation Eases in August, Extending Gradual Disinflation Trend

Mexico’s core inflation edged down in August 2026, reinforcing signs of a gradual cooling in underlying price pressures. The indicator slowed to 3.88% in August from 3.95% in July, based on month-over-month comparative data updated on 9 September 2026.

The latest reading marks a modest but continued deceleration in core inflation, as the August figure is measured against July’s change, while July’s 3.95% was itself a comparison to the preceding month. This pattern underscores a steady, if incremental, easing in price dynamics at the core level, a development likely to be monitored closely by markets and policymakers assessing the trajectory of Mexico’s inflation outlook.
