USD to MXN Exchange Rate History — Mexico
Over the past 90 days, the USD to Mexican Peso parallel (black market) rate moved from about 18.5 MXN on Jun 5, 2026 to 17.42 MXN on Jun 6, 2026 — a change of -5.9%. Across that window the Mexican Peso strengthened against the dollar, trading between a low of 17.39 and a high of 18.5 MXN, averaging 17.41 MXN per US dollar.
The Mexican peso is one of the most heavily traded emerging-market currencies and floats freely, so any gap to the street rate is small — most people simply compare casa-de-cambio and remittance rates.
How to read the MXN rate history
The chart plots the parallel buy rate — how many MXN it took to buy one US dollar — at each point we recorded. The daily table below lists the closing buy and sell rate for each day, while the monthly table summarises the average, high and low for each month, which is useful for comparing one period with another.
A rising line means the Mexican Peso is losing value (more MXN per dollar); a falling line means it is gaining. Over this window the spread between the high (18.5) and the low (17.39) shows how volatile the market has been — here, roughly 0.7% around the average.
What has moved the Mexican Peso recently?
In Mexico, the parallel rate is driven by factors such as global risk sentiment, US interest-rate moves, remittance and trade flows. When dollars become scarcer or confidence falls, the street rate climbs ahead of the official Bank of Mexico (Banxico) rate; when supply improves or policy tightens, the gap can narrow again.
Because the parallel rate often moves before official devaluations, its history is a useful early-warning record — a steadily rising trend frequently precedes an official adjustment, while a long plateau suggests relative stability.
Using historical MXN rates
Historical rates help with budgeting, invoicing, remittance planning and spotting trends, but they are not a forecast — past movements do not guarantee future ones. For the live rate, see our main USD to MXN page, and use the converter for exact amounts.
