FX.co ★ Mexico’s Trade Surplus Widens Sharply in August to $3.49 Billion

Mexico’s trade balance surged in August 2026, with the surplus widening to $3.489 billion, up from $0.465 billion recorded in July 2026. The latest figures, updated on 28 September 2026, point to a significant month-on-month improvement in the country’s external accounts.

The jump from July’s modest surplus to a much stronger August reading underscores a notable shift in Mexico’s trade dynamics over the late summer period. While the data release provides headline figures only, the move suggests either a robust performance in exports, a pullback in imports, or a combination of both, resulting in a substantially stronger net trade position for August.
