At the international level, Argentina continues to renegotiate debt obligations as tensions in Mercosur continue and high-level engagement with the U.S. increases. Government imposes fresh restrictions as second wave hits A year after first entering strict lockdown and following a period of greater opening, Argentina’s national government has begun implementing new restrictions on economic and social activities as a second wave hits. COVID-19 cases spiked in early April to over 20,000 per day, exceeding the peak hit in October and reaching new highs for several consecutive days. Around the same time, it was confirmed that more contagious variants of the virus, such as the Rio de Janeiro, United Kingdom and Manaus strains, were circulating among the community. As of April 16, Argentina has recorded a total of 2.6 million cases and just under 59,000 deaths. As a result of the increase in cases, on April 7, President Alberto Fernández announced new restrictions in the Buenos Aires metropolitan region and in other districts with high contagion rates, beginning on April 9 and extending during the next three weeks. The announcement, made in a pre-recorded message by the president who was in isolation following confirmation that he had COVID-19, followed several meetings with health authorities and provincial leaders to discuss the public health crisis. Restrictions included a night-time curfew from midnight through 6 AM; limiting public transport to essential workers, educators and students; closing bars and restaurants at 11 PM; banning private indoor social meetings and outdoor meetings over 20 people; and suspending group trips. These measures were only applied in high-contagious districts, and did not include Find more about our services Follow @CefeidasGroup halting most commercial activities nor the day had urged Argentines to remain suspending in-person classes.

  • 2021 Year Ahead
    2021 YEAR AHEAD Claudio Brocado Anthony Brocado January 29, 2021 1 2020 turned out to be quite unusual. What may the year ahead and beyond bring? As the year got started, the consensus was that a strong 2019 for equities would be followed by a positive first half, after which meaningful volatility would kick in due to the US presidential election. In the spirit of our prefer- ence for a contrarian stance, we had expected somewhat the opposite: some profit-taking in the first half of 2020, followed by a rally that would result in a positive balance at year-end. But in the way of the markets – which always tend to catch the largest number of participants off guard – we had what some would argue was one of the strangest years in recent memory. 2 2020 turned out to be a very eventful year. The global virus crisis (GVC) brought about by the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic was something no serious market observer had anticipated as 2020 got started. Volatility had been all but nonexistent early in what we call ‘the new 20s’, which had led us to expect the few remaining volatile asset classes, such as cryptocurrencies, to benefit from the search for more extreme price swings. We had expected volatilities across asset classes to show some convergence. The markets delivered, but not in the direction we had expected. Volatilities surged higher across many assets, with the CBOE volatility index (VIX) reaching some of the highest readings in many years. As it became clear that what was commonly called the novel coronavirus would bring about a pandemic as it spread to the remotest corners of the world at record speeds, the markets feared the worst.

    For continued coverage of Argentina’s presidential election, visit our special Web site, Argentina Elige, and tune into our podcast. Photo: Twitter/ Alberto Fernández Frente de Cambio Last Sunday, Argentina’s peaceful election occurred during one of the most tumultuous periods in modern Latin American history. Argentina’s normally quiet Andean neighbors, Chile and Bolivia, were racked by violent street protests. Meanwhile, Argentines, suffering their most severe economic crisis in decades, participated in peaceful campaign rallies and then 26.6 million Argentines – more than 80 percent of the electorate – voted without incident. President Mauricio Macri’s close second-place finish means that, for the first time since 1928, a non-Peronist president will finish his term and peacefully hand over power to a Peronist successor, in this case, Alberto Fernández. That is no small feat for a country famous for economic and political instability. But amid the justifiable enthusiasm over Argentina’s maturing democracy, the country’s near-term future is worrisome. Mr. Fernández’s performance in the election fell short of expectations, and raised questions about the capacity of his government to navigate one of the worst economic calamities to hit Argentina since 2001. There are also concerns about Argentina’s future foreign policy. Mr. Fernández wore his foreign policy on his sleeve on election night, praising Lula and Evo Morales, and raising fears of a major regional realignment that would isolate Argentina from its neighbors, the United States and Europe at a time when it is deeply dependent on international goodwill. The Results Mr. Macri lost his reelection bid, capturing 40 percent of the vote – only the third incumbent in Latin America to be voted out of office since the 1980s.

INTECIN, Paseo Colón 850, micro-blogging platform Twitter. We build a semantic network based on the hashtags C1063ACV Buenos Aires, Argentina Full list of author information is used by all the users following at least one of the main candidates. With this network available at the end of the article we can detect the topics that are discussed in the society. At a difference with most studies of opinion on social media, we do not choose the topics a priori, they emerge from the community structure of the semantic network instead. We assign to each user a dynamical topic vector which measures the evolution of her/his opinion in this space and allows us to monitor the similarities and differences among groups of supporters of different candidates. Our results show that the method is able to detect the dynamics of formation of opinion on different topics and, in particular, it can capture the reshaping of the political opinion landscape which has led to the inversion of result between the two rounds of 2015 election.
