Judge Preska has set aside her own 2023 judgment against Argentina—which exceeded $16 billion—in compliance with an appellate court ruling that overturned the decision. The matter now rests with the U.S. Supreme Court, which must decide whether to hear the case following an appeal filed by Burford Capital.

Should the Supreme Court decline to review the ruling, Argentina would be relieved of a massive liability that had weighed on its sovereign bonds and YPF shares. Reduced legal risk improves the country’s standing, potentially driving an upward trend in the value of Argentine assets.
