FX.co ★ Mexico’s Mid-August Inflation Ticks Up, 1st Half-Month CPI Rises to 0.10%

Mexico’s consumer price pressures showed a slight acceleration in mid-August, with the 1st half-month Consumer Price Index (CPI) advancing to 0.10% in August 2026. This compares with a previous change of 0.07% recorded in July 2026, according to data updated on 24 August 2026.

The mild uptick suggests price growth is edging higher at the start of the second half of the year, after a more subdued performance in July. While the move from 0.07% to 0.10% is modest, investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming readings closely to determine whether this signals the start of a firmer inflation trend or a temporary blip in monthly price dynamics.
