How much further is the dollar going to decline?


The US dollar has lost about 10% of it's value, compared to the MX peso. How much further is the dollar goi?g to slide down the hill.

After the Saudis' announcement of coming production cuts, gas prices are going to go back up starting in the summer, further weakening people's spending power.

Where on earth did you get that graph? I haven't seen it go above 21 in that lapse.

I was wondering if there was an ATM in Pescadero besides the one at OXXO, as I'm a bit wary of third-party cash machines - even in the States. I ended up getting pesos at one of the banks in Todos Santos during our last trip, although I also noticed that quite a few businesses (Agricole, Todos Santos Brewery, and Docecuarenta come to mind) take credit cards.

Plonk.


Only for my Nomad friends who never shy away from 'plonking' on me!

I simply Googled the question Peso to Dollar graph. Then I customized it to show the rate from January 2021 to now. The same graph PaulW used, only his was the larger time span graph, right off the website.

Just started using a cc at Agricole re using too much cash. Use the Todos banks once a week. Don’t trust 3rd party ATM’s. Think OXXO is it in Pesky.

That blip back in 2020 was the point of break-over.

I remember right after that when most of Mexico went to work reworking prices upward significantly.
Literally people in stores relabeling price tags on many things.

It has not come back down in relationship to the dollar dropping.

I don't know how many people here even fill up with petrol and pay their CFE bills.

Well, yeah. :rolleyes:

The dollar actually topped 19 about 7-10 days ago.......for one day. It had spent a lot of time in the 18s. Which is where it is right now.

You're using a card at an OXXO and that is what you are getting? Why?????

Best pot calling the kettle black post I can remember on this site.

BTW, sarcasm from DavidK is EXTREMELY RARE, IMO. But, MAN, it was kinda deserved in this case. Where else would one go to find exchange rates? Drive to the bank and see what's posted? :lol:

Mine was actually a serious inquiry as to his specific source, and "the Internet" is a big place.

Kinda like answering a question about the source of a literary quote with "The library-- it's right down the block, you know." :rolleyes:


I thought you were joking with me, when you asked... so, I joked back. Did you think I just made up that graph? Unless it is a scan off a Baja book, or a map I made, anything non-Baja I post is from the Internet. Sorry that I didn't take you seriously... You know I love to provide accurate answers... and some of them even are right!

Well no. No cc or pesos. Stopped at OXXO for milk saw a sign posted for rates.

Came up about a tenth of a peso since yesterday. The rate seems to bounce off of 18.0, as a floor. When it got down there about 10 days ago, it bounced up to 19 for one day, and then continued slowly downward. Yesterday was less than one tenth of a peso from 18.
