The economy remains in a state of turbulence as the country prepares for the legislative elections. While inflation is still under control and no one doubts that fiscal balance will be maintained, concerns persist about the exchange rate, the stagnation of domestic demand, the Central Bank’s lack of control over both the level and volatility of interest rates —which have reached absurd levels— and a country risk that remains sky-high.
El mercado, al vaivén de los anuncios. El Tesoro de Estados Unidos viene redoblando la apuesta para “rescatar” a la Argentina, haciendo movimientos que hasta ahora ningún gobierno americano había hecho en la Argentina. El jueves pasado vendió dólares para sostener el tipo de cambio y ayer volvió a intervenir, colocándose en pesos. También anunció un swap de monedas por 20,000 millones de dólares y que el sector privado estaba armando un paquete por un monto similar, lo que (de concretarse) implicaría un programa de ayuda nunca visto. El impacto inicial fue una fuerte baja del riesgo país. Pero las dudas regresaron el martes, cuando Trump declaró (en la reunión bilateral en la que se esperaban más detalles del apoyo estadounidense) que la ayuda estaba condicionada a que Milei gane las elecciones, lo que generó confusión y un nuevo derrumbe en los mercados.
When everything seemed to be spiraling out of control, the “American rescue” reappeared. Until las Thursday afternoon, the Argentine Treasury had been losing dollars at a worrying pace: it sold almost everything it had bought at the end of September to contain the dollar, and the Central Bank was preparing to step in. But as soon as the rumor spread that the agreement with the U.S. Treasury had been sealed, bonds, stocks, and the exchange rate all breathed a sigh of relief.
The elections in the Province of Buenos Aires were a serious setback for the government. On top of that, internal political tensions and economic uncertainty surged last week. We assume that the outcome of the national elections will be more balanced and that the market will perceive it as neither particularly positive nor negative.
The government has entered survival mode, taking risks that could mortgage the future. Trump’s rescue package created the conditions to accumulate dollars, especially since it was accompanied by the temporary elimination of export taxes on the agricultural sector. The farm sector delivered, with USD 6.3 billion in export proceeds, but only about USD 2.3 billion made it into reserves. The rest was used to hold down the exchange rate. That was hardly what the IMF or the U.S. Treasury had in mind, and it raises doubts about how many dollars will be left for later in the year.
