Mexico’s financial system continues to face the coronavirus pandemic from a "solid" position, the country's financial stability council said on Wednesday.
Stimulus measures implemented by the Federal Reserve over the past year and future policy changes that the U.S. central bank has signalled will have limited impact on China's financial markets, a Chinese central bank official said on Thursday.

TORONTO, April 1 (Reuters) - Analysts have raised their Canadian dollar forecasts for the coming year, expecting the currency to benefit from faster growth in the domestic economy and a potential reduction by the Bank of Canada of its bond purchases, a Reuters poll showed.
The loonie advanced 1.4% against the U.S. dollar in the first quarter, its fourth straight quarterly gain and the best performance among the G10 currencies.
The median forecast of more than 30 strategists was for the Canadian dollar to rise a further 0.6% over the next three months to 1.25 per U.S. dollar, or 80 U.S. cents.

SHANGHAI, March 17 (Reuters) - China is getting close to a southbound leg for its Bond Connect programme, the general manager of the programme’s joint venture operator said on Wednesday, as authorities seek to ease capital inflow pressures behind a soaring yuan.
A southbound leg would give Chinese investors access to foreign bond markets through the scheme. A northbound leg launched in July 2017 eased foreign access to Chinese bonds.
“Southbound trading will happen when northbound trading is extremely successful, insofar as we see so much ‘capital in’ that there will be need for ‘capital out’,” Julien Martin, general manager of Bond Connect Co. Ltd, told an online briefing.
Investors have nudged their cash allocations higher, suggesting a slight increase in concerns that inflation and "taper tantrums" could topple a record rally in financial markets, BofA's March fund manager survey showed on Tuesday.
