From an economic point of view, the economic data allows us to think about a recovery start after a year of slowdown, while in the short term the main driver of the Argentine assets will be the presidential elections, and mainly the difference between Macri and Fernandez in the primary elections. The expectation of lower inflation for the upcoming months would accentuate the recovery both in economic terms and in the risk profile of Argentine bonds.

Less than 2 weeks remain for the primary elections, and volatility is expected to remain in the local market. A positive result for the ruling party could generate a greater rally in the stock market, especially in cyclical sectors and in those which are lagging. The result is still uncertain, so we recommend having a conservative position.

The electoral scenario is somewhat clear as the electorate would be divided into two: center left and center right, which would be almost binary, continuing to generate uncertainty until the primaries take place. Although investors are now assigning a greater probability of a more favorable scenario to the Government, as volatility remains high, we do not recommend increasing exposure to domestic stocks.

Regarding dollar denominated bonds, our suggestion is to maintain a position in those liquid and short-term, such as dollar denominated Bills, with a 4% yield and significant lower volatility than longer bonds. For more aggressive portfolios, longer bonds are attractive in light of a lower parity which would limit risk in a debt stress event. In addition, corporate bonds issued by companies with significant US dollars denominated revenues, such as Pan American Energy, Adecoagro and TGS, are attractive due to the fact that they are able to generate foreign currency to repay debt.
