Argentina's central bank said it signed a $20 billion currency swap agreement with the US. The Argentine peso closed at a record low of 1,475 per dollar, down 1.7% on the day.
The central bank said the pact is part of a broader strategy to respond to foreign exchange and capital market volatility.
The swap gives Argentina more dollar liquidity, but a record-low peso makes Argentine soymeal and grain cheaper for export buyers, which can pressure world meal prices.
