Future dollar accelerated fall: it fell up to 12% in all terms, except for the end of the year
After Sunday’s elections that revealed that there will be runoff between Sergio Massa of Unión por la Patria and Javier Milei of La Libertad Avanza the thing is the future dollar collapsed on the Matba-Rofex and expectations of a sudden exchange rate jump were greatly diluted. This day, although the trend continues, with the largest drop for April, December contracts rose again.

Finally, On Monday contracts fell by almost 30% before the victory of UP by more than 6 points compared to LLA.

“The movements in the futures curve reflect that with the ruling party in the runoff a devaluation became highly unlikely until 11/19. Secondly, the chances of dollarization were reduced given Massa’s advantage, and thirdly, a quick exit from the stocks became less likely as of 10/12, since Massa represents the status quo,” they indicated in their PPI report.
