As Argentina surges back, peso shows limit to Milei euphoria

Argentina's Peso Shows Limited Gains Amid Milei Euphoria

Argentina officials have stated that they do not plan to change the current exchange-rate policy. The currency initially surged after President Javier Milei's electoral win but steadily pulled back as trading continued on Monday.

The rallies sparked by Milei's win were significant, with bond prices posting record gains and the stock market rising over 20 percent. However, the peso's advance was more subdued, ending less than four percent higher, roughly where it was two weeks ago.

The limited gain reflects doubts about the nation's ability to maintain its currency-trading band, which it defended aggressively before the legislative vote.

The ebullience was far more subdued when it came to the linchpin of Milei’s plans to remake Argentina’s economy: the peso.
