Argentina ETF Could Find a Helping Hand from the IMF
Argentina ETFs have fallen on hard times, but the country may find a helping hand from the International Monetary Fund as the institution stated its intent to help the Latin emerging economy work through its current crisis. On Thursday, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva revealed the Fund's intentions to help support Argentina's economy, but she added that they will wait to see the future policy framework adopted under the new leadership after the country holds an election later this month in which a change of government is widely predicted, Reuters reports.

Pummeled Argentina ETFs Ma Bargain Hunters
After experiencing a steep plunge, Argentina country-specific exchange traded funds could warrant another look, especially with Buenos Aires and the International Monetary Fund taking steps to stabilize the economy. The Global X MSCI Argentina ETF (ARGT) and iShares MSCI Argentina and Global Exposure ETF (AGT) have plunged over 30% from their July highs to multi-year lows, and bargain hunters may be stepping back into this beleaguered market. Argentina's main stock index lost almost half its value in the weeks following a shock August 11 primary election that dealt a blow to market-friendly conservative President Mauricio Macri and sent the country’s debt market and peso currency reeling, Reuters reports.

Argentina ETF’s Top Holding Can Weather Political Volatility
Down almost 32% over the past month, the once high-flying Global X MSCI Argentina ETF (ARGT) , the largest US-listed ETF dedicated to stocks in Latin America's second-largest economy, is beset by political volatility.

While note immune to Argentina's political volatility (the stock is down 20% over the past month), MercadoLibre still has the makings of a winner, according to some analysts.

Assessing Argentina Angles Amid Political Volatility
In a single day earlier this month, stocks in Argentina, South America's second-largest economy, lost nearly half their value after pro-markets President Mauricio Macri lost a primary to Alberto Fernandez, a member of the Peronist party. With investors speculating about Macri's political future and at least one ratings agency downgrading Argentina's rating into highly speculative territory, the Global X MSCI Argentina ETF (ARGT) is lower by about 26% this month, a tumble that has nearly wiped all of the previously high-flying ETF's 2019 gains. While Argentina’s economy, South America’s second-largest behind Brazil, has not been perfect under Macri, he has been embraced by market participants there and helped engineer a critical bailout from the International Monetary Fund in 2018.

Argentina ETFs Continue Taking Big Hits
The past few years for Argentina have shown various shifts in trends, but after seeing a surge for their country-specific ETFs leading up to this past weekend, the surprising landslide election win for Alberto Fernandez switched momentum in a very opposite direction this week.

Based on a statement from Nikko Asset Management’s Raphael Marechal, it seems as though it’s going to continue being a volatile market for the South American nation.

Argentina ETF Drubbed After Macri Loses Primary
After soaring last Friday ahead of Sunday's primary election, the Global X MSCI Argentina ETF (ARGT) plunged Monday, at one point shedding a quarter of its value after pro-markets President Mauricio Macri lost a primary to Alberto Fernandez, a member of the Peronist party.
