Bloomberg•17 days agoArgentine Stock Trading Slows to a Trickle as Investors Pull Out
It’s one more sign of a lack of investor interest in a stock market that has lost more than half its value in dollar terms this year. The investor exodus from stocks follows a pattern seen in other Argentine assets including the peso, this year’s worst-performing emerging-market currency, and government bonds. A large portion of Argentine stock trading is done through American depositary receipts in New York, and a similar trend has also been seen there, with volume in the MSCI Argentina Index also sinking over the past month.

Emerging-Market Currencies Ride Out Fed Hike, Trade-Row Escalation
Emerging-market currencies rounded off a winning month, defying the prospect of further rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, as more developing-nation central banks deployed tighter monetary policies to backstop local markets.

Trump's Congrats to S&P 500 Comes at Awkward Time
U.S. stocks rose to a new record on Thursday, prompting President Donald Trump to mark the occasion with a tweet that, in part, said "Congratulations USA!" That's all well and good, but what investors really care about is relative performance, as in how one asset, security or market is performing or valued relative to others. In that sense, U.S. stocks are suddenly falling short. Although the S&P 500 Index has gained about 1.50 percent since Sept. 11, the MSCI All-Country World Index of equities excluding those from the U.S. has jumped 3.71 percent.

Bloomberg•4 months agoThirty Is the Magic Number for Argentina's Macri
Argentina has a new refrain: 30 — it’s a magic number. Just after President Mauricio Macri completed 30 months in office, inflation looks set to jump to a staggering 30 percent by the end of the year. It’s all an unfortunate confluence for Macri, who swept to office in 2015 vowing to jump-start the economy by enticing foreign investment and slashing inflation.
