FX.co ★ Mexico’s Core CPI Momentum Cools in May, Easing to 0.22% MoM

Mexico’s core consumer inflation slowed in May 2026, with the Core CPI rising 0.22% month-over-month, down from a 0.31% increase in April 2026. The latest data, updated on 9 June 2026, indicate a moderation in underlying price pressures compared with the previous month.

On a month-over-month basis, the May reading shows that while core prices are still advancing, the pace has softened compared with April, when the index had climbed 0.31% from March. The comparison highlights a gradual cooling in core inflation dynamics, as the “actual” May change is measured against April, and the “previous” April figure reflects the change relative to March.

The deceleration in core CPI may be closely watched by markets and policymakers as they assess the trajectory of inflation in Mexico and its implications for future monetary policy decisions.
