Buenos Aires stocks remain positive after latest US court decision

Buenos Aires stocks moved up 0.81 percent today, with the Merval benchmark stock index reaching 2,478.99 points.

The positive movement in trading continued after a US court ruling yesterday which refused to order Argentina to pay a security deposit of at least US$250 million while it seeks to overturn a lower court ruling that orders it to pay holdout investors US$1.33 billion.

The Merval has accumulated gains of 5.6% so far this week and 1.6% this month.

Argentina’s country-risk fell by 1.6%, standing at 1,095 basis points in the JP Morgan EMBI index.
