Mexico’s stock market posted a third consecutive session of gains, as investors continued to monitor developments surrounding the conflict in the Middle East.

The benchmark S&P/BMV IPC rose 1.77% to 66,939 points, while the FTSE BIVA advanced 1.87%, reflecting a broader rebound in local equities after recent volatility.

Market sentiment has been supported by expectations that geopolitical tensions—particularly involving Iran—could ease in the short term, following signals of a temporary pause in attacks and ongoing diplomatic efforts.

Within the Mexican market, gains were widespread across sectors, with financial stocks leading the rally. Shares of regional banks and financial groups recorded some of the strongest advances, highlighting renewed investor appetite for risk assets.

Despite the positive momentum, analysts note that uncertainty remains high. Global markets continue to react to headlines related to the conflict, which has already driven swings in oil prices, currencies, and equities worldwide.

Recent weeks have shown how sensitive Mexican assets are to geopolitical developments. Earlier in the month, the local stock exchange had posted sharp losses amid escalating tensions, only to recover as hopes of negotiations emerged.

For now, the market’s upward trend reflects cautious optimism, but investors remain alert to any shifts in the geopolitical landscape that could quickly reverse sentiment.
