First the IMF now this… Milei in the middle of a massive dollar bailout https://image.nostr.build/bb1a274a1e49f5333cfd7325f2aba5c728d5ada67c3b81d482699ead61e638a3.jpg

The reason is that the Peronistas won the provincial elections, convincingly. Markets are not taking it well (currency, stocks etc.). Meanwhile Milei's team took the (imo) ill considered decision to create a slowly expanding "band" (think soft peg) around the ARSUSD exchange rate. And the ceiling of the band was hit in the above market panic. They started selling reserve USD to defend that ceiling.
