Argentina's central bank launched stage 3 of its economic program, removing the 'blend' export exchange rate and lifting foreign exchange restrictions on individuals. The peso will float within a band of ARS1,000 to ARS1,400 per USD, with both limits widening 1% monthly.
The bank also stopped financing the fiscal deficit by issuing pesos.
Removing the blend rate and export-proceeds restrictions changes the incentive to sell soybeans, meal and oil in Argentina, a major global supplier. Expected flow changes could move soymeal and soyoil export prices.
After 206 past neutral policy events, Soybean Meal moved a median -0.4% over 5 sessions (44% higher; middle half -2.3% to +1.8%), and -0.7% over 20.
After 196 past neutral policy events, Soybean Oil moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.6% to +2.0%), and -0.5% over 20.
