If you're keeping an eye on the dollar in Mexico, this is what Banxico's system shows when consulted on Friday, November 13, 2026, at 8:10 a.m. (Eastern time): the latest FIX is 18.6188 pesos per dollar and was determined on Thursday, November 12. Note: this is not a live price or Friday's closing rate.

On Wednesday, November 11, the FIX was 18.6192. On Thursday, November 12, it was 18.6188. The difference is a mere 0.0004 pesos, a minimal change that doesn't indicate a pressured peso or a significant shift in the exchange rate.

And what about Friday's rate? At the time of consultation, Friday's FIX appears as N/E, meaning there is no data yet. According to Banxico, the FIX is released starting at 12:00 p.m. on business days.

Because they are not the same. Banxico manages three references:

According to Banxico, the latter should be the rate published in the DOF on the immediately preceding business day.

Here, it's best to proceed with caution. The FIX is a wholesale reference, not the rate applied by a remittance company. Each company sets its own exchange rate and charges its fees, so what your family receives may be different.

Just to illustrate, if $100 were converted at Thursday's FIX, it would yield 1,861.88 pesos before fees. This is not a guaranteed real amount, just a theoretical operation.

What does this mean for each party?

We don't know what Friday's FIX will be or where the exchange rate is headed, and we're not going to speculate. The most useful thing is to check Banxico's system (SIE, Mercado cambiario) after 12:00 p.m. and see what rate your remittance company offers before sending money.

If you want more context, you can read two previous articles from MundoNow. They were published on other dates, so their figures may not match this week's: bitcoin, miners, Mexican peso, and inflation and economic risks in 2026 and how to protect family finances.

And you, do you frequently send or receive money? Think about how much you lose between fees and exchange rates, and compare. A few minutes can be worth a few dollars a year.
