Why Elon Musk Is Right About Argentina; "Chainsaw" President Milei Has Argentina Stocks Beating The S&P 500 All Year
Portfolio Pulse from Kenneth Rapoza
Elon Musk recommends investing in Argentina, citing a risk-on market trend. Argentina's President Javier Milei's economic reforms have led to significant interest rate cuts and a bullish outlook for the Global X MSCI Argentina ETF (ARGT), despite it being overbought. The ARGT ETF has outperformed the S&P 500 and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index (EEM) this year. However, geopolitical tensions and potential policy adjustments pose risks to ARGT's momentum.
