Mexico: What is the price of the dollar today, Thursday, December 23, 2021?

The exchange rate fell on Thursday in Mexico due to the appreciation of the peso due to a decrease in fears about the consequences of the omicron variant of the coronavirus that boosted the demand for risk assets.

The price of the dollar was trading at 20.6850 pesos in the Mexican market, registering a slight decline of 0.05% compared to the Reuters reference price on Wednesday.

“At times, the idea begins to permeate that a more infectious, but less dangerous, variant would have the potential to eventually end the pandemic.“Said specialists from the local CI Banco.

Two vaccine manufacturers said their drugs offer protection against omicron, while British data suggests that the new variant of the coronavirus may lead to proportionally fewer hospitalizations than delta.

For the rest of the day, the exchange rate in Mexico is expected to range from 20.68 to 20.85 units per dollar, according to estimates by Monex Grupo Financiero.
