Mexico City.- The main oil prices extend their losses this Wednesday, after falling more than 5 percent in the previous day, given the prospect of a recession in the US that threatens to curb the demand for fuel.
The benchmark blend in the US, West Texas Intermediate (WTI), fell 4.86 percent to $68.10 a barrel, while Brent, the benchmark in Europe, fell 4.63 percent to 71.83 percent.
In information of the day, the ADP agency reported that private payrolls in the US increased by 296,000 jobs in April, above the 150,000 jobs expected and the 142,000 reported in the previous month.
In this context, the dollar in the international currency market -or Foreign Exchange Market (Forex)- yields 6.72 cents, to 17.9123 pesos, while the markets await the announcement of monetary policy from the Federal Reserve (Fed).
In retail crosses, the dollar is sold at 18.37 pesos in Citibanamex, 6 cents less compared to the previous closing.
In the stock markets, the main Wall Street indices operate mixed and the Mexican Stock Exchange is in positive territory, which immediately suspended the listing of the retailer Grupo Famsa for not presenting its 2022 annual results report on time.
