Index and USD/MXN over the same days, aligned: move the cursor and read both values for the same date (the crosshair is synced). Click any point to read that day's view. Stacked panels on purpose — two scales on one plane mislead the eye. Reading tip: a high score usually coincides with USD/MXN falling (strong peso).

Every morning the view publishes a falsifiable stance. Here it stands against what USD/MXN actually did over the next 5 trading days — no retroactive edits.

Evaluation rule (fixed): pro-peso hits if USD/MXN closed lower 5 trading days later; pro-USD if it closed higher; neutral if the move was ≤0.35% either way. Stances are published since Jul 10, 2026; the sample grows one point per trading day. Green = stronger peso.

What happened next?

Average market return over the 5 and 10 trading days after each index band, across the views actually published. For USD/MXN, negative = the peso appreciated.

Sample: 27 views with at least 5 days of subsequent history. The sample is still small and grows by one view per trading day — this is evidence under construction, not a promise of returns. Not investment advice.

Five years of evidence

What USD/MXN did after each index band, across ~1,190 trading days (Jul 2021 → Jul 2026). The surprising read: the extremes are contrarian signals.

★ The stat that matters: after a RISK-OFF day, the peso appreciated over the next 5 days 80% of the time (historical base: 57%). Extreme panic has been a rebound zone, not an exit. The index describes TODAY's regime (a nowcast) — it is not a promise of returns or investment advice. Green = stronger peso (USD/MXN falling).

What the index means

The Risk On index sums up global risk appetite — with a Mexico focus — in a single 0–100 number. Depending on where it lands, the day falls into one of these four bands:

032
Risk-off
Fear in control: money runs to safety (dollar, gold, Treasuries). Usually a weak peso and markets selling off.
3349
Defensive
Caution: not panic, but the market eases off the gas. A time to protect more than to reach for risk.
5067
Constructive
Healthy appetite: a selective willingness to take risk. The peso and risk assets find support.
68100
Risk-on
Full appetite: the market buys risk with confidence. A favorable backdrop for the peso and emerging markets.

The Risk On index is a proprietary indicator, designed and maintained by Mauricio Mercenario. It is a market-reading tool, not investment advice.
