MEXICO CITY: Mexico’s central bank board could discuss a rate cut of either 25 basis points (bps) or 50 bps in its next decision in February, deputy governor Jonathan Heath told Reuters, even as he warned of growing uncertainty regarding US trade.

Heath stipulated that the final decision would depend on the conditions at the time of the meeting. The monetary authority has been cutting rates by 25 bps since kicking off an easing cycle earlier this year, but said last week it was open to larger cuts as inflation continues to slow.
