The Argentine financial market received a massive liquidity injection following the sovereign debt service payment made by the National Government on July 9, 2026. According to reports from local media like iProfesional and El Destape, the total amount credited to bondholders ranges between $4.3 billion and $4.5 billion, corresponding to capital and interest maturities of the bonds known as Bonares (AL) and Globales (GD).
This payment reinforces the country's reliability in the eyes of the market. However, while the government hoped that high reinvestment would boost fixed-income prices and lower the country risk below 400 points, part of the funds took a different path. On Monday, July 13, a peak outflow of foreign currency to foreign accounts was recorded for $212.8 million. This occurred in an international context of expected interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve, which typically generates outflows from emerging markets. Argentina's country risk stood at 405 points.
With the funds in their accounts, investors are wondering where to channel their dollars. Experts from Buenos Aires' financial district (locally known as 'The City') provided a roadmap for different risk profiles, focusing on available opportunities.
Pablo Lazzati (Insider Finance) and Lisandro Meroi (TSA Bursátil) suggest shorter-duration bonds like AL30 and AL29, the AO27, or high-quality corporate bonds. To stay invested with diversification, the PPI team recommends US dollar-denominated mutual funds.
PPI highlights a balanced rotation toward high-quality provincial bonds in dollars. They specify two robust titles: CO35 (Córdoba province, yield 8.2%) and SFD34 (Santa Fe province, yield 7.4%), which offer protection against stress events.
To seek value in the long end of the curve, Lazzati points to AL41 and GD46. PPI sees potential in GD41 (8.3% yield), while Thiago Marino (IOL) highlights GD35 to maximize capital appreciation.
Amid these movements, the Secretariat of Finance announced a new debt tender for July 15, 2026. The Treasury will offer a new dollar-denominated bond called AO29, with a maximum amount of $2 billion.
