🇦🇷 Markets on Edge as Argentina Votes — Milei’s Reforms at Stake
Argentina is heading into a crucial election — and global markets are holding their breath. President Javier Milei’s free-market reform plan hangs in the balance as voters decide control over half the lower house and a third of the Senate.
💸 The Argentine peso has already plunged to a record 1,490 per USD, and traders are bracing for another devaluation regardless of the outcome. Analysts say a strong showing from Milei’s party, La Libertad Avanza (LLA), could calm volatility — but a weak result could trigger another selloff Monday morning.
🏛️ With only 37 out of 257 lower house seats, Milei doesn’t need a majority — he just needs enough momentum to push through his tax, labor, and austerity reforms.
🇺🇸 Meanwhile, U.S. support has temporarily steadied Argentina’s finances through a $20B swap line, but confidence remains fragile. Inflation has dropped dramatically (from 289% in 2024 to 32% today), yet real wages and pensions continue to fall, fueling frustration.
📊 Polls show a razor-thin race, with Milei’s bloc projected between 34% and 42%. Anything below expectations could shake investor confidence and accelerate capital flight.
As UBS strategist Pedro Quintanilla-Dieck notes, “Markets aren’t expecting a strong result.”
This election could define Argentina’s financial path — reform and recovery or renewed turmoil. The world is watching.

Big news shaking the crypto world — reports suggest Donald Trump is considering a presidential pardon for Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the co-founder of Binance. 👀
🔹 In 2024, CZ pleaded guilty to money laundering violations, paid a $50M fine, and served 4 months in prison before stepping down as CEO. 🔹 Now, Trump’s team reportedly believes the case against him was “too harsh” and that a felony charge wasn’t necessary. If granted, this pardon could clear the path for CZ’s official return to the global crypto scene — and possibly even back to Binance’s leadership, where he remains the largest shareholder.
This move could mark a major turning point for both CZ and the crypto industry’s relationship with U.S. politics.
