Argentina ETFs on Watch as Country’s Debt May Need Restructuring
Argentina could be headed for a massive bond restructuring, which puts its single country-focused ETFs on watch. Talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), its largest creditor, are expected to continue as a team of IMF economists are figuring out how to restructure about $44 billion in loans that Argentina is unable to pay back. “An IMF statement that supports a lenient restructuring offer would boost bondholder confidence,” said Mateo Reschini, a trader with Rosario-based brokerage LBO.

What to Expect From the Argentina ETF This Year
Wracked by political volatility, Argentine stocks and the Global X MSCI Argentina ETF (ARGT) tumbled last year. Stocks in South America's second-largest economy rallied in the fourth quarter, but couldn't recoup all of the 2019 losses and the market is again being tested to start 2020, prompting market observers to speculate on what to expect from Argentine markets under the newly elected Alberto Fernández. There are concerns that Fernandez is cut of the same cloth as former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (CFK), but indications are to the contrary.

Politics Still Problematic For The Argentina ETF
The oldest and largest Argentina exchange traded fund listed in New York was on a torrid pace through the first seven months of 2019 only to fall on hard times falling a primary election that pointed to a new market unfriendly regime coming to power. “The country suffered severe financial deterioration after the August 11 primary elections, which showed an increased likelihood of victory by the opposition presidential candidate,” Fitch Ratings said in a recent note.

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 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. One glimmer of hope for the Argentina ETF is its largest holding, online retailer and e-commerce giant MercadoLibre (MELI).

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 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.
