Dollar Dips in Mexico After Vote

Mexicans exchanging dollars at bank counters paid fewer pesos this morning compared to recent days. The shift in the exchange rate follows the U.S. midterm election held on November 3, 2026. Analysts say the outcome points toward lower inflation and reduced interest rates in the United States, which has weakened the dollar against other currencies.

The decline in the dollar also reflected nervousness in global markets regarding investments in the artificial intelligence sector. This economic context allowed other major currencies to gain strength. The British pound saw notable gains in foreign exchange operations, benefiting from the shifting political and economic landscape in the U.S.

In Tijuana, the morning buying rate for the U.S. dollar stood at 17.75 Mexican pesos. The selling rate at that location was 18.10 pesos. At Banco Azteca locations, the bank bought dollars at 16.85 pesos and sold them at 18.94 pesos.

For travelers or businesses dealing with Canadian currency, Banco Azteca bought Canadian dollars at 12.15 Mexican pesos and sold them at 14.14 pesos this Thursday morning.

The price of Bitcoin dropped slightly during the early hours of the day in the United States. The cryptocurrency traded at 79,586.93 U.S. dollars, a decrease of 840.83 dollars or 1.05% from the previous closing price.

In Mexico, the value of Bitcoin fell by 1.18%. The digital asset was priced at 1,479,190.99 Mexican pesos, which represented a loss of 17,698.35 pesos for the day.
