The appointment of Batakis “what marks is that indeed the weakness of the president (Alberto Fernández) today is very great, could not appoint a Minister of Economy more aligned with his position“, said María Castiglioni of C&T Economic Advisors.
This Monday “was a busy day waiting for definitions, but the truth is that this scenario marks a significant degree of uncertainty,” he added.
This Monday’s holiday in the US restricted operations in the local market, which were limited to those that are settled on Tuesday and those that were operated this Monday against the entities’ own accounts at the BCRA.
On Friday, the Central Bank had started July with sales of US$190 million, due to the demand for dollar savings and energy imports, market sources indicated.
After closing in June with a positive balance of US$950 million and accumulating more than US$1.8 billion in the first half, which enabled it to reach the reserve accumulation goal agreed upon with the IMF, the monetary authority began the month with a negative balance, after accumulating some US$1.5 billion between Monday and Thursday.
Market sources detailed that this Friday’s sales were related to the fact that “with the change of the month the quotas are enabled and -in addition- there was also a demand for energy”.
