The Bessent effect on investor confidence

The U.S. Treasury Secretary emphasized that Argentina is a "systemically important" partner and assured that all support options are on the table, from swap lines and currency purchases to operations through the Exchange Stabilization Fund.

Bessent stressed that they trust Milei's reforms and that "Argentina will be great again." His statements reinforced investors' appetite for local assets, both in bonds and stocks.

General optimism in the markets

The Merval's rise adds to the improvement in sovereign bonds, which climbed as much as 11%, the historic 21% drop in country risk, and the collapse of financial dollars, with declines of up to 8%.

Overall, the outlook points to a scenario of greater confidence in the economic direction and in Argentina's ability to stabilize its financial situation with external support and pro-market domestic measures.
