Argentine peso soars versus dollar after Milei vote win

LONDON, Oct 27, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - The Argentine peso soared against the dollar 
Monday after a runaway victory for President Javier Milei in Argentina's 
midterm elections.

Having initially jumped around 10 percent according to Bloomberg, the 
Argentine currency went on to trade about three percent higher at 1,448.30 
peso to the dollar.

Milei hailed his party's runaway victory in Sunday's midterm elections as a 
"turning point" for the country and vowed to charge ahead with his agenda of 
shrinking the state and deregulating the economy.
