The BCRA has reduced its short position in dollar futures contracts to nearly zero. Regaining this margin provides the Central Bank with a key tool to contain a potential currency run next year—part of the $75 billion "bazooka" that the government claims to have ready to defend the exchange rate.

Reduced pressure on the exchange rate in the future is a positive signal for peso-denominated assets and Argentine bonds, as it lowers the risk of a sharp spike in the dollar that could erode the value of portfolios held in the local currency.
