Argentina's risk premium made a strong start to September, falling 2.1% on Tuesday to 501 basis points, approaching the psychologically significant 500-point barrier. Dollar-denominated sovereign bonds recorded slight gains of up to 0.47%, while local bonds appreciated 0.7%. The Merval index rose 0.6% in dollar terms to 1,911, with Pampa Energía leading gains at 2.2% while Transener lost 4.9%.
The main driver of market movements was the surge in oil prices to peaks after US-Iran tensions escalated into a military confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude jumped 7.7% to $95, while WTI reached $90; this lifted energy shares but dragged down Wall Street indices (Dow -0.79%, S&P 500 -0.71%, Nasdaq -1.03%). In Argentine ADRs, Vista gained 4.6% and Pampa 2.1%.
Analysts are optimistic for September regarding the risk premium, which rose from 430 to 512 in August; the market may have already priced in an election continuity scenario. PPI noted the risk-return balance has become more balanced and sees room for a gradual compression of the risk premium. However, Gardey warned of volatility risks from the electoral process; if reserve accumulation and fiscal discipline continue, a drop to the 400-450 band by year-end is possible, though a Fed rate cut currently looks difficult.
