Rates Are Falling: A New Era for Investors

Shift in the Landscape: The Era of High Interest Rates May Be Coming to an End
Analysts point out that the expectation of interest rate cuts, both from the U.S. Federal Reserve and Banxico, is not only due to the perception that rates are too high, but also to economic stability and controlled inflation.
However, experts warn that investors may be overestimating central banks’ ability to cut rates quickly, meaning real rates could remain elevated longer than expected.

What’s Happening in Mexico?
Although Banxico is currently in a rate-cutting cycle —with expectations of gradually lowering its benchmark rate— it remains cautious due to persistent inflation risks. This means that fixed-income instruments like CETES may offer lower short-term yields but can still be attractive within a well-diversified portfolio.
How Are Investors Reacting?
A rotation is already underway: money market funds are losing appeal in favor of longer-term instruments, such as T+1 funds or longer-duration bonds, as investors seek to lock in yields before rates fall further.
In Mexico, fixed-income yields (around 11%) remain highly competitive compared to the local stock market (which offers between 8% and 10%).
Opportunities… and Risks
Fixed Income: While yields may decline with future rate cuts, they remain a solid foundation in a diversified portfolio.
Equities: Lower interest rates could boost a stock market recovery, especially in sectors like technology, cybersecurity, and sustainability.
Alternative Markets: Instruments such as Fibras (Mexican REITs) benefit from lower rates and the growth of nearshoring.
The key challenge lies in timing: if rate cuts are delayed or economic growth remains strong, market complacency could lead to negative overreactions.
A Smart Strategy: Why Europe May Be a More Stable Haven
Amid growing uncertainty in the Americas —where central banks may not cut rates as quickly as expected and local markets still carry risk— Europe stands out for:
Solid regulation and lower political volatility
Greater sector diversity, from tech to green infrastructure
Predictable opportunities in both fixed income and equities
