45. AI for Mexico Logistics, Gold Mine Drama, Mexico Rises to #1 US Buyer, Esentia IPO, ASUR Buys Big

Desteia’s Diego Solórzano explains how real, operator-focused AI tools can ease Mexico–U.S. logistics bottlenecks. Journalist Steve Fisher recounts the unlikely recovery of a gold mine in Sonora that many had written off, detailing the operational, financial, and human factors behind its revival. We discuss Mexico surpassing Canada as America’s top export market for the first time, driven by tighter USMCA rules of origin, China-related tariff pressure, and decades of integrated US/Mexico supply chains. We review Esentia Energy’s IPO, completed but priced below range as investors weighed its exposure to CFE and the shadow of Aeroméxico’s post-IPO weakness. We also cover ASUR’s acquisition of 20 airports across Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Curaçao; Tiendas 3B’s standout quarterly results; and rumors Grupo Salinas is selling Mazatlán FC, potentially opening the door for Atlante’s return to Liga MX.’
