Mexico’s core inflation inched higher in October 2026, rising to 3.80% from 3.75% in September, according to data updated on 9 November 2026. The move marks a slight acceleration in underlying price pressures on a month-over-month comparison, after a period of relative stability.
The October figure is based on a comparison of price changes in October versus September, while the previous reading reflected changes in September versus August. The modest uptick suggests that disinflation in core components has paused, with price momentum regaining a bit of strength as the fourth quarter begins.
While the increase is small, the reversal from September’s lower rate may draw attention from market participants tracking Mexico’s inflation trajectory and its implications for future monetary policy decisions.
