Exchange rates can be affected by:
- Economic indicators from both countries
- Political stability in Mexico and the US
- Interest rate differentials
- Commodity prices
- Speculation in the foreign exchange market

How often does the exchange rate change?
The exchange rate changes throughout the day as market conditions change. The most accurate rate is typically the closing rate from the previous business day.
Is it better to convert before or after traveling?

How do I protect myself from exchange rate fluctuations?
You can hedge your currency risk by using forward contracts or options, but these require financial expertise. For most travelers, converting at the time of need is the simplest approach.
