Besent and Caputo spoke is on the verge of nerve attack

This Thursday, in the previous one to a new stock market and exchange wheel in Argentina, the head of the United States Department of the Treasury, Scott Bettinghe tried to bring “tranquility” to markets. It was through a post in the network X: “Yesterday I had a very positive call with Minister@LuisCaputoar from Argentina,” he started saying.

Bessent He completed: “After intense work from the meeting of@Potus Trump with President@jmilei in New York, in the next few days I hope that the team of Minister Caputo comes to DC to advance significantly in our discussions in person on the options to provide financial support. In addition, during yesterday’s conversations with my colleagues finance ministers@G7, I emphasize the importance of the success of the economic policies of the president of the president Milei. For the region and for G7.

The definition of Bessent It was in response to the questions of the own establishment American to the government of Trump For an “inexplicable” it helps Argentina in the midst of the economic-financial problems that the Republican administration has.

But that same definition calls into question the expectations of the economic team of Javier Milei. Especially in a week in which, despite the previous excite An alleged help of US $ 20 billion from the American treasure, The dollar continues to rise Your price. This Wednesday the currency closed in $ 1.450crowning the nerves of Caputo & Cía.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Economy Keep burning dollars as if they were your own personal savings. Yesterday the treasure sold More than $ 400 milliontrying to stop a new rise in the exchange rate. Everyone wonder how much would have closed the price of not having injected that fortune to satisfy the buying voracity.

As Matías Hof says in another article of The daily left“The respite that the government sought to lower the withholdings and surrendering to a salvage from TrumpIt lasted just a week. The indebtedness bats records, while the transfer of resources to large companies and speculators grows. ”
