3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 10

Summary

  • Argentina’s dollar bonds rallied across the curve after S&P lifted the sovereign rating to B-, the country’s second credit upgrade in less than two months.
  • 2035 global bonds — a benchmark for Argentina’s international debt — climbed as much as 2.9 cents to 79.4 cents on the dollar, a record high for the notes issued in 2020.
  • Medium-term 2030 notes also advanced, gaining more than 1.2 cents as the upgrade boosted investor confidence in the country’s credit outlook.
  • The move marks another market win for President Javier Milei, extending a rebound in Argentina’s hard-currency debt as ratings agencies turn more positive.
