Mexico’s core consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.46% month-over-month in February 2026, easing from a 0.60% increase in January 2026. The fresh data, updated on 09 March 2026, point to a moderation in underlying inflationary pressures compared with the start of the year.
On a month-over-month basis, the February reading shows that price growth in core components—typically excluding volatile items—has decelerated relative to January, when core CPI climbed 0.60% versus December. The latest figure suggests a gradual cooling trend that may be closely watched by policymakers and markets assessing the trajectory of inflation and potential implications for future monetary policy decisions in Mexico.
