Argentina Financial Crisis Fears ArisesFears once again loomed all over Argentina in a financial crisis rushing to the fore. And over the weekend, President Mauricio Macri had a stunning rout in the primary elections. At the same time, investors dropped its bonds, stocks, and currency en masse in a selloff. And it left Wall Street thinking that the crisis-prone country will have another default.
In addition to that, the upset is widely seen as a preview of the presidential vote in October. And it suddenly opens the doors to the possibility of a more protectionist government will take power come December. Also, it might untangle the hard-won gains that Macri build-up to retrieve international markets’ trust.
Then, it intensified worries Alberto Fernandez, his populist rival, and Cristina Fernandez, his running mate, will attempt to renegotiate its debts and agreements with the International Monetary Fund. In the coming year, the foreign-currency billion debt is due.
Edwin Gutierrez is the head of emerging-market sovereign debt at Aberdeen Asset Management. And he stated, “The market is starting to price in default” and it “is unwilling to give Fernandez the benefit of the doubt.”
Debt Payments of Argentina
Meanwhile, looking at the credit-default swaps, it suggests that traders are expecting a 75% likelihood that Argentina will suspend its debt payments for about five years. Last Friday, this chance was only about 49%.
Then, its dollar-denominated government bonds wiped out about 25% on average. As a result, it dragged down prices to as low as 55 cents on the dollar. Yields, on the other hand, on shorter-maturity notes surged above 35%.
Moreover, in Argentina, the peso tumbled as high as 25%, hitting a new record-low 60 per dollar on Monday. Also, the Merval stock index had the most lost in the intraday trading.
On Sunday, Macri expected to trail his rival by just a few points and pummeled the polls, with Fernandez in a 15-point lead.
Swing trade, with researchI was doing research with bond yields for Mexico and the United States. Mexico's 10YR bonds are falling, meaning they can't pay back their debts as much. The United States 10YR is the same way. However, Mexico's interest rates are rising. Rising interest rates meaning their printing more money, making their currency less valuable. The United States Fed has had talks about lower interest rates, making the Dollar rise in value.
As my analysis shows, theirs a triangle. We are nearing the bottom of the triangle, most likely, it will rise up to the top of the triangle again, there hasn't been much movement to break the triangle. I will keep adding to my position until I either hit my stop loss or take profit.
I'm not sure how long it'll take, I am confident about this trade
USDMXN - On its way to 18.90 and lower!The Mexican peso looks strong. It broke to the downside during the US session and bottomed today at 18.95.
I see two supports. The immediate support is the 18.90 area. If we break that support, we could go to the second strong support at 18.75, especially if oil price does not fall.
Also, both the daily MACD and RSI give us a bearish signal.
On the other hand, if we go bullish, I expect the prices to go to 19.15.
However, as I mentioned, I am more in favor of a downside.
USDMXN - Descending TriangleHi everyone,
After the market rallied during the last week in favor of the US dollar ,
we sold off later in the day making the chart bearish in the short run.
It seems we are forming a descending triangle .
We could go to 18.75 soon, and that could be a break to 18.50, especially if oil price don't fall.
On the other hand, if we go bullish , I expect the prices to go to 19.19 and then to 19.50.
However, as I mentioned, I am more in favor of a downside.
USDMXN: Happy Easter! Hey everyone first i want to wish everyone and their family a great easter weekend!
We are looking at the USDMXN pair a second time after we were anticipating a great short from the last idea. I will link it below.
We clearly see that the bearish trend line is broken and retested on the 1h timeframe. The red horizontal line is a key support level, where price did change before.
Divergence is also in play around this area.
We are looking for long in this area only and aiming for the last highs at least.
I will keep you guys updated and have a great trading week!
USDMXNMy analysis is fairly simple, I drew a channel in which price broke it and now coming back up for the retest.
I drew a fibs for the first double bottom I saw on the lower time frame(5m) so I can measure that expected pull back and entry. Price retested the 1.618 twice with confinred rejection and now price is following my fibs to the T so I am expecting a heavy push to the down side.
Fundies Show Weakness, Technicals Show OversoldTo be brief, Mexican growth is slowing with prospects for the G20 economy to slow further. Technicals oscillators shown below indicate a buy as well. This buy is a bit crowded however, so I wouldn't be surprised if the contrarian sell comes in strong. But I lean long.

USDCLP. Chilean peso completed consolidation. Eyes 732-764A year ago I posted a chart (see related) with map of weakness for CLP.
This is daily chart to give you the map of the current impulse.
Wave 4 could have been completed now.
Wave 5 should at least tag former top of CLP 732.
The next target is CLP 764 where 5 = 100% of 1-3
