Wednesday, April 3, 5:58 AM A U.S. appeals court yesterday ordered holdout creditors to respond to Argentina's proposal to offer them restructured debt that either discounted the original bonds' face value or extended the final payout years into the future. Argentina has been appealing a ruling that it must repay the holdouts $1.33B in debt after the creditors refused to take a haircut following the country's $100B default in 2001. (previous) Comment! [Global & FX]
Sunday, March 3, 3:03 AM A U.S. appeals court has given Argentina until March 29 to formulate a plan to repay $1.33B in debt stemming from the country's $100B default in 2001. The money would be paid to bondholders who rejected Argentina's 2005-2010 debt swaps in which the country issued new bonds at 35 cents on the dollar. Argentina is refusing to return the full amount, sparking fears it could default once more. Comment! [Global & FX]
Friday, March 1, 5:49 AM Fears that Argentina will default hit the country's markets yesterday, with the Merval stock index tumbling 3.5% and the cost to insure $10M of its debt for one year rising to a whopping $6.6M. The turmoil came after a lawyer representing Argentina's government told a U.S. court on Wednesday that it would choose to default rather than pay bondholders who won't accept restructured debt that was issued following the 2001 default.

Tuesday, January 1, 11:20 AM On the country ETF dashboard, green all around for 2012 with the exception of Brazil (EWZ -2.5%) and Argentina (ARGT -18.6%). Topping the list were Turkey (TUR +62.3%), Philippines (EPHE +46.6%), Thailand (THD +37.2%), Egypt (EGPT +34.2%) and Ireland (EIRL +32.1%). Comment!
Sunday, December 2, 2012, 3:44 AM Argentina's holdout bondholders, who are refusing to accept haircuts on defaulted debt, have filed an emergency motion to an appeals court requesting that the country be forced to post a security of at least $250M to show that it won't try to squirrel its way out of a district judge's order to pay the creditors $1.3B if the higher court doesn't reverse the judge's ruling. Last week, the court allowed Argentina to delay the payment of the money. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
Thursday, November 29, 2012, 3:35 AM An appeals court yesterday allowed Argentina to delay the payment of $1.3B of defaulted debt to bondholders who refused to accept haircuts on the paper, pending a further ruling from the court. A district judge had ordered the country to place the money into an escrow account by Dec 15 if it pays out $3B of restructured debt, as scheduled. The lower court ruling had sparked fears that Argentina could default and prompted Fitch to slash its ratings on the country. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
Monday, November 26, 2012, 5:44 AM Argentina is due to appeal today against a U.S. court ruling that it must pay $1.3B to holders of debt that refused to accept haircuts on their paper after the country defaulted on almost $100B of loans in 2001. Complying with the order would force the Argentine government to break its own law and put it at risk of lawsuits from those who accepted its debt restructuring. However, not complying could put the country in technical default. Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories]
Tuesday, October 9, 2012, 2:49 PM With greenbacks getting tough to come by, the Argentinian province of Chaco goes into what might be termed "selective default" after making payment in pesos on a dollar-denominated bond. Barclays urges calm to its clients, saying this sort of action is priced into bond prices. "We would be buyers," on weakness, analysts write. ARGT -2.8%. Comment! [Global & FX]
Monday, July 30, 2012, 3:00 PM Argentina better hire more currency-sniffing dogs as dollar deposits continue to flee the country, now off 42.3% since October. Following the government appropriation of the energy industry, depositors and investors aren't waiting around to find out the next target, writes Sober Look. 5 Comments [Global & FX]
Wednesday, April 18, 2012, 3:33 PM The government in Buenos Aires moves along, now set to take control of a gas company owned by Spain's Repsol (REPYY.PK -6.3%), according to a Senator.

Monday, April 16, 2012, 12:09 PM More on Argentina's takeover of YPF: The government will send a bill to Congress to take a 51% stake in the oil & gas giant for the "public good," according to an official. The move follows weeks of government pressure for the firm to spend more and pay its investors less. Shares -14%, Repsol (REPYY.PK) -1.7%. 9 Comments [Energy, Global & FX, M&A]
Monday, April 16, 2012, 11:58 AM Argentina is taking for itself a controlling stake in YPF, reports Bloomberg. Shares -18%. Spain's Repsol (REPYY.PK), a majority owner (maybe not anymore) of the company, -1.3%. Comment! [Energy, Global & FX, Breaking News]
Wednesday, April 11, 2012, 12:21 PM Argentina will announce its takeover of YPF on Thursday reports a local paper, citing a provincial governor. Rumblings to this effect from the Kirchner administration have been ongoing for weeks, and provinces have recently revoked concessions on a number of the company's most productive oil fields. Shares -4.1%. 8 Comments [Global & FX, Energy]
Wednesday, April 4, 2012, 3:52 PM The Argentine ETF (ARGT -4%) continues to tumble (off 13% in a month) as the U.K. sends a warship to the South Atlantic.
