Bank of Mexico Cuts Benchmark Interest Rate in Split Decision After Pause — Update

I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.
The Bank of Mexico has cut its benchmark interest rate by 0.25 percentage points to 6.75% in a split decision, with a 3-2 vote among board members. The central bank will assess future cuts based on macroeconomic conditions, amid rising inflation and uncertainties from the Middle East conflict. Inflation rose to 4.63% in March, influenced by food prices, while core inflation slightly decreased. The bank does not see immediate inflationary effects from recent tax changes and remains cautious about further rate cuts, despite the global energy situation.
