Mexico’s consumer inflation quickened in October 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.65% month-over-month, up from a 0.42% increase in September 2026. The latest data, updated on 9 November 2026, indicate a notable acceleration in price pressures compared with the previous month.
On a month-over-month basis, the October reading shows that price growth gained momentum relative to September, when the CPI had increased by 0.42% versus August. The comparison underscores a strengthening inflation trend as the pace of monthly gains in consumer prices has picked up heading into the final quarter of the year.
The figures will likely draw attention from investors and policymakers monitoring Mexico’s inflation trajectory, as the October acceleration may influence expectations for monetary policy and the broader economic outlook. For now, the data confirm that monthly inflationary pressures are intensifying rather than easing on a short-term basis.
