What view does JP Morgan have regarding Argentina?

For this entity, the markets reacted positively to the stabilization efforts of the Javier Milei administration. “The country meets Ecuador as the countries with best performance within the EMBIGD to date as positive idiosyncratic events have been met with a marked convergence bringing Argentina’s risk premium closer to its relevant peers within emerging markets,” they highlighted.

For JP Morgan “The most critical thing is the elimination of capital and currency controls”which implies exchange rate unification. However, we are now more willing to “accept bullish scenarios” for policy implementation amid resilient payment capacity at least until 2025, a view that is reinforced by a more benign global outlook for risk assets and public support “still solid for Milei”.

More specifically, they believe that Argentina “can take advantage of a window of opportunity that the next two quarters represent countries by reunifying the currency market and lifting capital controls”as they said “the key” for the other remaining pieces to bear fruit after a “successful adjustment” and even. “If these steps are delayed until after the October elections, we believe there are still ways to move forward,” they explained.
