Yesterday's Recap

Argentine equity markets posted solid gains with the MERVAL rising 1.13 percent, driven by renewed interest in financial and energy names. The official USD/ARS rate eased 0.10 percent to 1,488, narrowing parallel-market premia. EUR/ARS climbed 0.42 percent to 1,701.89 in line with euro strength against the dollar.

Brent crude edged 0.07 percent higher to 71.85 dollars per barrel while soybean futures added 0.49 percent to 1,131.75. Bitcoin gained 0.72 percent to 61,925.89, providing ancillary risk-on sentiment. The Argentina 10-year bond yield remained unquoted, leaving duration markets without fresh pricing.

Net reserve accumulation continued at a measured pace, supporting peso stability. Genneia filed for the first Argentine IPO in New York since 2019, signaling improved external market access for local issuers.

The Day Ahead

The economic calendar remains empty through the July 4 holiday period, leaving markets focused on global risk signals. Traders will monitor soybean export registrations and any Treasury bill rollover announcements. Liquidity in the official FX market is expected to stay thin ahead of the weekend.

Global equity and commodity moves will likely dictate local sentiment given the absence of domestic data. Attention stays on reserve levels and any BCRA interventions in the spot market. Lower oil prices and steady soybean demand offer supportive external conditions for Argentine assets.

Other Economic Notes

Genneia’s filing for a New York IPO marks the first Argentine corporate listing attempt in the US since 2019, signaling improved external market access. The Cocos fintech acquisition of Warren expands Argentine digital finance reach into Brazil, highlighting capital export from local tech founders. Fiscal consolidation efforts continue to anchor investor views, with soybean export volumes remaining a key hard-currency source.

Thailand kept its policy rate unchanged, aligning with market expectations. Canada’s Macklem highlighted soft growth while inflation stays above target, tempering cut bets. Denmark’s central bank intervened to support the krone against euro pressure, illustrating defense of currency pegs.

The US dollar weakened after softer jobs data reduced near-term hike odds. Emerging Asia bonds attracted fresh foreign inflows despite Fed hawkishness. Lower oil prices aided peso-linked currencies across commodity exporters.

BCRA Watch

With no fresh BCRA statements released, markets interpreted the 0.10 percent USD/ARS decline as evidence of continued crawl-rate discipline. Reserve accumulation above prior benchmarks supports the view that current policy settings remain consistent with external balance goals. Forward guidance remains focused on gradual reserve build-up rather than abrupt easing signals.

Any shift toward a slower crawl would likely be telegraphed only after sustained reserve gains. Markets continue to price limited volatility in the official rate through the holiday period.
