Orange juice prices surged past $4.90 per pound in October, marking a four-week high driven by severe supply disruptions. Hurricane Milton devastated over three million boxes of oranges in Florida, a key juice producer, setting the stage for the smallest harvest since the late 1920s. This loss has intensified already strained global supplies, further pressured by a prolonged drought in Brazil, the world’s top orange juice exporter. Even before Milton's impact, the USDA had forecast Florida’s orange crop to be the worst since 1933, with no improvement in fruit size due to persistent citrus greening disease.

The Mexican peso weakened past 19.35 per USD in October, retreating from monthly highs as investors assessed the latest domestic economic data amid a strengthening US dollar. Mexico's consumer confidence index fell to 47.1 in September from 47.6 in August, which had marked the highest level since February 2019. This decline reflects a deterioration in sentiment regarding both household finances and the country’s economic outlook, alongside a reduced willingness among consumers to make significant purchases. Furthermore, Mexico's economic outlook appears bleak, with recent data revealing a contraction in industrial production, showing a 0.9% annual decrease in August, way below expectations and the sharpest contraction since March. Minutes from the Bank of Mexico highlighted the necessity for a less restrictive monetary policy in light of the economic slowdown and easing price pressures. The central bank is expected to reduce rates by 50 basis points to 10% for the remainder of 2024.
