Mexico's central bank unexpectedly cut its interest rate by 0.25 percentage points to 6.25% for the year, hitting a four-year low. According to Bloomberg, the regulator intends to keep the figure at this level for a long time. Despite the acceleration of inflation in the country to 3.62% at the beginning of October, the central bank's board notes a cooling in core inflation and the economy is operating below its potential. Against the backdrop of the decision to ease monetary policy, the Mexican peso fell sharply.
