Mexico's economy faces challenges with slowing GDP growth, rising inflation, and unlikely interest rate cuts, impacting investor sentiment. The iShares MSCI Mexico ETF (EWW) has seen modest performance compared to its Latin American peers, with concerns over Mexico's manufacturing slowdown and upcoming elections. However, Mexico could benefit from geopolitical shifts and increased investment from companies diversifying away from China, including significant investments by Tesla (TSLA) and others in Nuevo Leon.
