2026.02.2412:00:00UTC+00Mexico’s Half-Month Core CPI Cools in February, Signaling Softer Price Pressures

Mexico’s 1st half-month core Consumer Price Index (CPI) decelerated in February 2026, pointing to a moderation in underlying inflationary pressures. The indicator reached 0.22% for the first half of February, down from 0.43% in the first half of January 2026.

The latest reading, updated on 24 February 2026, suggests a notable slowdown in core price growth over a short period. While no breakdown by component is provided, the decline in the core gauge — which typically strips out more volatile items — may be interpreted by market participants as a sign that domestic inflation dynamics are easing at the margin.

Investors and analysts will likely watch upcoming inflation releases closely to see whether this softer core reading becomes a trend, potentially influencing expectations around Mexico’s future monetary policy stance and interest rate trajectory.
