The Mexican Markets

Balancing cultural wealth and macroeconomic headwinds

To truly understand an economy, one must sometimes step off the trading floor and look at it from a thousand feet in the air.

Imagine floating in a hot air balloon at dawn just outside Mexico City. As the morning mist burns off, the massive silhouettes of the Sun and Moon Pyramids at Teotihuacan materialize below. From this height, you can trace the Avenue of the Dead, a perfectly straight axis planned nearly two millennia ago. It is a masterclass in structural longevity.
