Argentina’s presidential election on Nov. 19 represented a seismic shift in the country’s political and economic discourse. Facing a depreciating currency, high unemployment, egregious budget deficit, and rampant inflation the electorate backed the right of center Libertarian candidate Javier Milei. Despite being a congressman, Milei essentially campaigned as a political outsider. Lower taxes, reduced capital controls, trade liberalization, lowering inflation, and government spending were cornerstones of the campaign. As Milei’s election pertains to Argentina’s agriculture sector we see the removal of capital controls, reduced tariffs, and trade liberalization can have impact on U.S. agriculture exports.

A softer dollar can also help make raw materials cheaper for importers of U.S. commodities like energy, grains, and oilseeds. Historically a softening dollar can benefit prices of the price performance of non-yielding assets like commodities. #commodities #exports #corn #soybeans #cattle #energy
