Argentina's country risk index, measured by JP Morgan, closed on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at 525 basis points, dropping below 530 points for the first time this year. The decline was driven by gains in sovereign bonds and central bank dollar purchases. The index has fallen nearly 90 points over the past week.
JP Morgan's country risk index consolidated its downward trend on Tuesday, April 14, opening at 528 points, with a high of 530 and low of 517, according to Rava Bursátil. This daily compression reflects average 1.5% gains in dollar bond parities, amid optimism from central bank reserve accumulation, with daily purchases exceeding 150 million dollars.
Over the past week, the index fell from 611 points on April 6 to 528 on April 13, breaking key resistances. Analysts credit the improvement to monetary intervention and a break from late March volatility, placing the index at yearly lows.
Sovereign bonds like AL41 and AL30 closed up 0.8% and 0.3%, respectively, while Argentine stocks traded mixed. Global markets also showed optimism, with New York and European exchanges rising, despite Middle East tensions.
