How Mexican Exports Are Booming Despite the Strong Dollar

Episode 46 of Trade and Tariffs with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna examine why Mexico's export machine is thriving in June 2026, even as the strong dollar crushes many emerging-market peers. They break down the competitive edge Mexico gains from its proximity to the U.S., its deep integration in North American supply chains, and the 'nearshoring' wave that accelerated under the USMCA. With the trade-weighted dollar index at 120.1 and emerging-market ETFs like EEM up 4.5% in a week, they ask whether Mexico's model is durable—or vulnerable to the same currency pressures hitting South Korea and Southeast Asia. Specific data points include the U.S. trade deficit narrowing slightly to $55.9 billion in April, and the yen hitting 160.3 per dollar.
