> Argentina's central bank bought US$9 million in the spot market on November 4, its first net purchase of the month. Gross reserves rose US$142 million to US$50.435 billion, helped by a gold rally to about US$4,075 an ounce.

## Why it matters

The small purchase signals limited official intervention and a stable peso, with a global dollar weakening after US elections. Reserve moves are modest and have little direct effect on grain or meal prices.
