Almost everybody expects a devaluation in ten days, after midterm elections. Even Bessent. Not a bet to win money but one to win power
In private sector, Bessent made his money by betting that Central Banks would not be able to control their currencies. In government, he is betting that Argentina’s, of all countries, will manage to do so.
"'You generally don’t want your first use of the E.S.F. to be a failure,' [Brad] Setser said, referring to the Exchange Stabilization Fund. 'I do think it would impact the broader credibility of Secretary Bessent’s financial management.'"

Milei vowed to tame Argentina’s chronic inflation. Central to his efforts were austerity measures and a strong peso. While successful in bringing down inflation, the government failed to build up its scarce forex reserves while propping up the peso. Can a lifeline from the US help break the cycle?

Anthony Lane closing his piece on “Faustus” with a 1938 anecdote from the US Congress: “Christopher Marlowe has been every kind of dangerous since the sixteenth century, and to find that he’s a Communist, too, would be one more feather in his cap. Hell, why not?” 👏
