ARGENTINA: There will undoubtedly be a lot of focus on the open of ARS trading
later today (1400BST/0900ET) as markets eye the fallout of the loss for current
President Macri in primary elections over the weekend. The country's bonds that
trade in London have already been hit hard, pressing yields sharply higher and
raising the risk of a sharp currency sell-off when the market opens.
-Regional sell side analysts already see the ARS falling at the open, with BTG
Pactual seeing USD/ARS rallying as much as 25% Monday. Similarly, analysts at
Amherst Pierpoint are warning that markets will likely panic.
-USD/ARS closed on Friday at 45.3134. A 25% drop would see the pair below 35.00
for the first time since August last year.
