Milei's Election Win Fuels Major Gains in Argentine ADRs, ETFs: 'There Is No Free Lunch,' Analysts Say
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Javier Milei's victory in Argentina's presidential election led to a surge in Argentine ADRs and ETFs in U.S. markets. The Global X MSCI Argentina ETF (ARGT) rose by 13%, while ADRs like YPF Sociedad Anonima (YPF), Banco Macro S.A. (BMA), and Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. (GGAL) saw significant premarket gains. Milei's economic proposals include privatization, dollarization, and fiscal reforms. Goldman Sachs highlighted risks associated with these changes, particularly for the exchange rate. The Argentine peso's volatility against the dollar Tether (USDT) on Binance and the disparity between official and parallel exchange rates are concerns for financial stability.
