Build opening: A strategy to consolidate the new exchange scheme?
The Personal Investment Portfolio Society (PPI) analyzed the decision of the Central Bank of enabling non -resident investors access to the change free market (MLC) without prior authorization. This measure, which seeks to attract foreign investments with a medium -term horizon, requires that the funds remain a minimum of six months in the receiving financial entity. From PPI they explained that this condition aims to stop the entry of merely speculative capitals, that is, known as “Capitals swallow”, which usually enter and leave the country in short periods of time seeking to take advantage of exchange gaps or transient yields.
Bróker analysts stressed that this flexibility also has important implications for Argentine financial assetswhich could aspire to be included in the main international reference indices. In their analysis, the specialists stressed that this type of regulatory movements could be interpreted by the market as a sign of greater financial predictability and commitment to a gradual opening of the local capital market. In addition, they considered that this action is inserted within a broader economic strategy aimed at reinforcing exchange stability and attract sustainable flows towards the Argentine economy.
For PPI experts, behind this resolution underlies two central objectives. On the one hand, they interpret that the government could be looking for the official exchange rate to the lower part of the band established in the new exchange scheme. The hypothesis becomes strength from recent statements from officials and interventions of the Central Bank, that has been operating mostly in that market segment. This, in turn, raises certain questions about the goal of accumulation of reservations for the second quarter, set at US $ 4,400 million, if purchases are maintained only in that lowest strip.
The stock market society remarked that, if this exchange approach was consolidated, an environment of greater stability would be configured for the entry of foreign investments. Under this logic, the updated regulatory framework not only seeks to encourage new placements, but also provide them with predictability, imposing temporary restrictions on the movement of incoming capitals. From PPI they pointed out that the combination of a contractive monetary policy and clearer rules for the exchange operation could reinforce market confidence in the current economic direction.
The impact on the peso market and the renewed attractiveness of Carry Trade
Beyond the exchange effects, PPI specialists stressed that this measure can have a relevant impact on the demand for instruments in pesos. They argued that a flexibility of the stocks, accompanied by a very restrictive monetary policy, generates favorable conditions for the private sector to be interested again in the tenders of the Treasury. In particular, they point out that many investors could choose not to renew all the maturities, and take advantage of the rate differential that today offers the instruments in local currency.
From the Society of Bolsa they consider that this dynamic should not be interpreted in a alarmist way. On the other hand, they stressed that the treasure currently has an important financial mattress, close to $ 10.89 billion, distributed between the Central Bank and the Nation Bank. This liquidity level would allow the government to hold a rollover below 1.0X without facing significant tensions. Within that framework, they emphasize that the context is conducive to the treasure to continue capturing funds, especially if it can offer attractive yields and maintain some exchange stability.
PPI analysts also focused on the opportunities that open for strategies Carry Trade. According to your vision, the liquidity that will begin to be channeled towards the local market will tend to concentrate on fixed rate instruments, above those adjusted by inflation (CER). This preference is explained, in part, by the expectation that the pass Through of an eventual rise of the official exchange rate is less than anticipated, provided that there is no abrupt jump. In this context, both fixed rates and CER instruments continue to offer attractive conditions for investors that seek to take advantage of the rate differential between pesos and dollars.
In this way, the partial relaxation of exchange restrictions appears as a catalyst to reactivate interest in local currency assets, in a scenario where the monetary policy Restrictive continues to be one of the main pillars of the economic scheme. For broker specialists, this combination allows improving demand for treasure instruments without compromising fiscal or exchange balance, at least in the short term. The key, they maintain will be to maintain the current conditions of discipline and predictability.
THE NEW BOPpreal Series 4: Characteristics and Objectives
In parallel, the Central Bank announced the next broadcast of the Bopreal series 4a bonus that seeks to advance in the regularization of commercial debt prior to December 2023. From PPI they explained that this tool has a double objective: on the one hand, he can clean up accumulated commitments with suppliers from abroad, and on the other, facilitate compliance with pending obligations with linked companies. The issuance represents a new step in the process of normalization of foreign trade and is part of the strategy to reorder the external financial front.
The experts of the stock market society detailed that the bonus will have a period of three years, with payments of semiannual interests and amortization of capital in a single payment to the expiration (Bullet Structure). This scheme allows companies BCRA A greater margin to administer your financial calendar. The maximum emission amount will be up to US $ 3,000 million, which marks the continuity of a series of similar placements made in recent months.
According to broker specialists, the success of this new series will depend largely on the conditions defined in the first tender, especially the interest rate offered. Although there are still no precise details about the performance, from PPI they advanced that they will remain attentive to the official announcements to be able to estimate their attractive potential. The current context, with a lower exchange volatility and a strict monetary policy, could play in favor of successful placement.
Finally, analysts recalled that the Breop BCRA reserves. In that sense, they emphasize that this tool contributes to sustaining an orderly transition from the payment scheme in foreign trade. Looking ahead to the coming months, the evolution of these bonds will be a relevant factor to measure the degree of financial standardization that the Argentine economy is achieved.
