- Chances of an Argentinian sovereign default have been raised after President Cristina Fernandez said the country cannot pay the $1.5B it owes to a group mostly consisting of hedge funds by June 30. The statement follows a U.S. supreme court ruling that orders the country to repay its holdout investors before restructuring its debt.
- Fernandez also did not give details to how Argentina would pay the more than the 90% of bondholders who agreed to take a 70+% cut on their loans after Argentina defaulted on $100B in 2001-02.
