Dollar Jumps, Risk Tops 1,000 as Trump’s Support Warning Jolts Argentina Markets

Investors are recalibrating risk after the remark, with uncertainty building before a major Treasury rollover.

Overview

  • Banco Nación lifted the official dollar to 1,415 pesos as the blue rate held near 1,420 and financial dollars hovered in the mid‑1,400s.
  • Argentine stocks and bonds showed a cautious rebound after sharp losses, yet country risk remained above 1,000 basis points.
  • Economy Minister Luis Caputo said markets misread President Trump’s comments and flagged forthcoming announcements to reassure investors.
  • The U.S. Treasury’s recent operations—selling dollars for pesos and opening a futures account—shifted liquidity and stirred debate over post‑election exchange‑rate moves.
  • The Treasury faces a rollover of roughly 3.9 trillion pesos this week, with tight peso liquidity and high short‑term rates heightening refinancing risk.
