Yesterday's Recap
Argentine equities posted solid gains as the MERVAL advanced 2.41% to 3,242,788, driven by buying in financial and energy names. The official USD/ARS rate rose 0.95% to 1,427, extending the peso’s gradual depreciation. EUR/ARS increased 0.82% to 1,660.04, tracking the dollar’s broad move.
Gold climbed 1.91% to 4,560.80 per ounce while Brent crude declined 1.96% to 93.12 dollars per barrel on softer demand signals. Soybean futures slipped 0.32% to 1,177 amid improved global supply prospects. Bitcoin fell 2.66% to 69,419.41, adding to risk-off sentiment in emerging-market assets.
The Argentina 10-year bond showed no quoted change.
The Day Ahead
No major Argentine data releases are scheduled for the next three days according to the FinanceFlow calendar. Markets will monitor global central-bank signals from the US, Europe and China for spillover effects on commodity prices. Traders will also watch soybean export flows and any updates on IMF program compliance.
Peso liquidity conditions and parallel-market spreads remain key domestic focal points. External volatility in oil and metals could influence short-term BCRA reserve management.
Other Economic Notes
Argentina continues to benefit from steady soybean export volumes despite modest price declines. Fiscal consolidation efforts remain on track under the current IMF framework, supporting reserve accumulation. Import tariff reductions on capital goods are expected to aid investment recovery later this year.
Broader emerging-market flows remain sensitive to US dollar strength and Chinese credit conditions.
Global Macro News
Brazil’s expected return to the world’s tenth-largest economy highlights regional growth resilience that could support Argentine trade links. South Korea’s faster inflation reinforced hawkish central-bank expectations, adding to global rate volatility. China’s push for higher bank lending aims to counter slowing growth and may lift demand for Argentine commodities.
