Mexico's stock market continued its downward trend Tuesday, with the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV) shedding 0.41% and extending its losing streak to five sessions. The benchmark Index of Prices and Quotations (IPC) closed at 66,848.42 units, reflecting a challenging day for global markets.

Financial analysts pointed to significant losses in technology sector companies as a primary driver of the downturn.
