Argentinian Stocks Surge on Milei’s Midterm Victory, Economic Reforms in Focus
Argentinian equities are rallying sharply in pre-market trading following President Javier Milei's decisive midterm election win. ADRs of Argentinian firms listed on U.S. exchanges are leading the charge as investors bet on sweeping economic reforms.
The libertarian leader's congressional gains strengthen his hand for implementing pro-market policies ahead of his 2025 reelection bid. Market sentiment received an additional boost from former President Trump's conditional $40 billion bailout pledge tied to Milei's electoral performance.
Energy firms PAM and YPF, along with financial holding company GGAL, are among the top watched stocks as Argentina's potential economic transformation takes shape. The rally reflects growing confidence in Milei's ability to overhaul the nation's chronically underperforming economy.
