Argentina’s Central Bank sold $398 million to defend the peso on Friday, the most in a day since mid-March, authorities said in a statement on Friday.
The sale of central bank reserves came just days after International Monetary Fund staff reached a new $20 billion loan accord with Argentina. The agreement has stoked speculation of a one-off devaluation.
