Bloomberg outlines three warning signs that Argentina is heading toward a currency devaluation: the need to expand the monetary base to meet peso debt payments and fund spending, a drop in agricultural exports, and rising energy imports.
Lower farm export dollar inflows weaken Argentina's reserves and can push the peso down, which affects the price competitiveness of Argentine soymeal, corn and wheat in world markets.
After 44 past bullish macro events, Soybean Meal moved a median -0.6% over 5 sessions (34% higher; middle half -1.9% to +0.9%), and -2.9% over 20.
After 78 past neutral macro events, Corn moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (55% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.6%), and -0.6% over 20.
