US Treasury Secretary Bessent: Terming Out US Debt Is “A Long Way Off”

Key Takeaways

Powered by lumidawealth.com

  • U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent signaled the Trump administration is weighing options to backstop Argentina, including swap lines, direct FX purchases or using the Exchange Stabilization Fund to buy dollar‑denominated Argentine debt.
  • Markets reacted positively: Argentina’s Merval jumped ~7.6% and the peso strengthened more than ~4% on the news.
  • Any U.S. unilateral support would be unusual, carries credit and political risk, and would likely be more effective if coordinated with the IMF and other partners.
  • Short‑term stabilization could reduce market volatility and shore up President Javier Milei politically ahead of crucial midterm congressional votes; longer‑term solvency and policy execution remain the core risks.

What Happened?

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent posted that the administration is reviewing a range of tools to help Argentina amid sharp currency and market stress. The options he listed—swap lines, direct dollar purchases, or purchases via the Exchange Stabilization Fund—are aimed at stabilizing the peso and Argentina’s debt dynamics if domestic reforms and market confidence falter. The announcement preceded a planned meeting between U.S. officials (including President Trump and Bessent) and Argentine President Javier Milei at the UN General Assembly, and it immediately lifted Argentine asset prices.

Why It Matters

A U.S. backstop would materially alter the risk calculus for Argentine assets and could calm short-term funding strains, lower borrowing costs for data‑center‑like projects and reduce default probability in the near term. But it also raises fiscal and credit exposure for the U.S. (and political scrutiny), risks of moral hazard if reforms stall, and legal/coordination questions because the ESF is an unconventional unilateral tool—historical precedents are rare. For investors, the move shifts near‑term tail risks lower (supporting equities, FX and sovereign spreads) while leaving structural concerns—high indebtedness to the IMF, political backlash to austerity, and weak reserve buffers—intact.

What’s Next

Watch the outcome of the Trump‑Bessent‑Milei meetings at the UN and any immediate operational steps (announce swap line terms, ESF purchases or direct currency intervention). Track Argentine indicators closely—central‑bank reserves and FX interventions, peso spot and forward moves, sovereign CDS and bond yields, and Merval flows—alongside IMF commentary on coordination. Equally important: monitor domestic political signals in Argentina (provincial election results and the October congressional vote) and whether the U.S. seeks multilateral partners; the distinction between a short‑term liquidity backstop and a commitment to longer‑run solvency support will determine the durability of market relief and the credit risk profile for creditors.
