The Argentine assets closed June with most declines on Wall Street, with the majority of stocks and bonds posting negative performance this Tuesday. The risk country remained below 430 basis points, while the peso continued to weaken against the dollar, recording its largest monthly increase in nearly a year.

Argentina vs. Cape Verde schedule for this Friday, July 3, for the 2026 World Cup
Argentina will face Cape Verde in the penultimate round of the Round of 16 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, scheduled for Friday, July 3, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The match will take place at 19:00 Argentine time and will be broadcast live by several television channels including DSports, Telefé, TyC Sports, and the Public Television, as well as digital platforms such as Paramount+ and Disney+. Argentina topped Group J during the first stage with wins against Algeria, Austria, and Jordan, with Lionel Messi scoring five goals. Coach Lionel Scaloni has made significant player rotations due to their assured group leadership position. However, there is uncertainty regarding the availability of Christian Romero, who suffered a knee injury similar to one he had before the tournament. If he cannot play, Nicolás Otamendi would replace him. Cape Verde, making its debut in a World Cup, has reached the Round of 16 undefeated after finishing second in Group H with three draws. They aim to make history by defeating the reigning world champions.
Polar bomb alert in several provinces of Argentina: until when will the extreme cold continue
The article reports on an extreme cold snap affecting multiple provinces in Argentina, caused by an influx of Antarctic air. The National Weather Service (SMN) has issued yellow and orange alerts for freezing conditions in 22 provinces, including Buenos Aires, Chubut, Río Negro, Neuquén, La Pampa, Mendoza, and others. Temperatures have dropped significantly, with some areas recording temperatures below zero, and snowfall was reported in parts of the Greater Buenos Aires area, which is unusual. The article notes that while the coldest period is expected to ease over the weekend, winter conditions will remain prevalent. In Buenos Aires City, temperatures are forecasted to range between -1°C and 10°C on Friday, with gradual warming expected through Sunday.
In the tropical Pacific, El Niño conditions have set in, researchers say.
The article reports that researchers from New Zealand’s Earth Sciences organization (ESNZ) have identified conditions consistent with the El Niño climate phenomenon in the tropical Pacific. They warn that impacts on New Zealand’s weather are likely to intensify over the coming months. The ESNZ joined other organizations in Australia, Japan, and the U.S. in confirming the development of El Niño, which is expected to reach strong intensity between July and September. The effects are projected to peak during the Southern Hemisphere summer, spanning late 2023 into early 2024. According to lead researcher Chris Brandolini, this El Niño event is at least comparable in strength to five of the strongest recorded El Niños in modern history. The article outlines regional rainfall expectations, noting potential below-average precipitation in some areas and above-normal levels in others. It also mentions possible temperature fluctuations and increased wind variability later in the year. Additionally, it notes two lower-probability risks: sudden stratospheric warming and the occurrence of a tropical cyclone outside the typical season, both historically linked to El Niño. Brandolini connects the
Roberto Cachanosky: "The way they adjusted the fiscal deficit is not sustainable"
Economist Roberto Cachanosky discussed Argentina's economic situation with Canal E, expressing doubts about the sustainability of the government's main economic indicators. He noted that while inflation has decreased, this reduction might not be sustainable due to factors like exchange rate adjustments. Cachanosky highlighted that economic growth does not benefit most productive sectors, with approximately 54% of sectors such as commerce, industry, and construction struggling or barely surviving. He criticized the current economic model by comparing it to someone with their head in a freezer and feet on a stove, suggesting that average growth figures do not reflect the reality for many sectors. Additionally, he pointed out that growing sectors are not major employers, while those in difficulty—such as commerce and construction—are significant job creators. Cachanosky also warned that the method used to reduce the fiscal deficit is unsustainable, noting that debt obligations have merely been shifted from the central bank to the national treasury.
The BCRA closed a REPO for $ 6,000 million with international banks and cleared maturities until 2028
The Argentine Central Bank (BCRA) executed a major financial operation by renewing a $6 billion USD repo with ten international banks, extending the maturity to September 2028. This move aims to ease liquidity pressures and reduce short-term foreign currency obligations due between 2026 and 2027, which were previously concentrated. The decision was anticipated by market participants and aligns with the government’s efforts to demonstrate fiscal stability ahead of the 2027 elections. The new financing uses SOFR-based rates plus a 4% spread, lowers borrowing costs, and increases participation from international banks. The operation also utilizes BONAR sovereign bonds as collateral, allowing the BCRA to maintain liquidity without permanently divesting these assets.
Peter Thiel claimed that Pope Leo XIV works for the Chinese Communists
Multimillionaire technology investor Peter Thiel accused Pope Leo XIV of acting as an agent for Chinese communists during the Aspen Ideas Festival, citing the Pope's call for regulating artificial intelligence as a threat to slowing down U.S. progress against China in AI advancements. Thiel also warned that the Democratic Party could soon take control of the U.S. government through socialist influence. During the event, Thiel discussed with political scientist Francis Fukuyama, focusing on the future of Western democracy. The Vatican did not comment on these accusations, despite requests for clarification. This is not the first time Thiel has criticized the Pope, having previously given lectures in Rome about the potential rise of a world government resembling the Antichrist.
Agostina Vega case: Claudio Barrellier and Osvaldo Fasseta were transferred to the Cruz del Eje prison for security reasons
Two main suspects in the femicide case of Agostina Vega, Claudio Barrellier and Osvaldo Fasseta, were moved during the early morning hours from the Bouwer prison complex to the Cruz del Eje jail under strict security measures. The transfer occurred around 3 AM and was communicated to prosecutors shortly after. The decision by the Cordoba Penitentiary Service followed an evaluation of their living conditions. Both men left the medical center at Bouwer where they had been held since arrest and were relocated to a specially equipped section of Cruz del Eje, where they will remain isolated in individual cells, separated from each other, and under constant monitoring. This arrangement is reserved for inmates requiring special security measures. The move aims to protect both detainees and maintain order within the facility. Although the relocation increases security, they are still held under preventive detention while the judicial investigation continues. Meanwhile, the two female suspects remain in the medical unit at Bouwer, also under isolation but without plans for immediate transfer.
Juan Pablo Valdés warned that El Niño could leave 2,500 millimeters of rain in Corrientes
The governor of Corrientes province, Juan Pablo Valdés, warned that the 'El Niño' phenomenon could bring up to 2,500 millimeters of rainfall in the region, which would be unprecedented. This warning is based on simulations from the INTA Corrientes Experimental Agricultural Station, predicting widespread precipitation that could flood approximately 3.3 million hectares currently affected by drought. In response, Valdés gave operational ministries 20 days to finalize a contingency plan outlining institutional responsibilities and assistance mechanisms. The plan includes mobilizing military forces, using drones for aerial monitoring, and clearing waterways to prevent flooding. However, challenges include bureaucratic hurdles and resistance from some rural landowners who refuse access to heavy machinery.
Municipal elections in Cordoba: how services will work on Monday, July 6
The city of Córdoba, Argentina, will observe a public holiday on Monday, July 6, commemorating the anniversary of its founding. As part of this observance, the local municipality has declared a day off for public administration, resulting in the closure of municipal offices and changes to some services.

45 minutes from Buenos Aires: the destination that is preparing for winter holidays
The article promotes Concordia, an Argentine city located 45 minutes from Buenos Aires, as a popular winter vacation destination. It highlights the city’s natural attractions, cultural offerings, and wellness facilities such as thermal springs. The piece emphasizes activities suitable for all ages, including guided tours, nature trails, and family-friendly experiences like treasure hunts. It also mentions historical sites linked to literary figures such as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. While the content focuses on tourism promotion, a section titled 'Esto no les gusta a los autoritarios' appears to critique authoritarianism, suggesting a potential ideological stance against centralized control.
An Argentina where failures contradict each other and priorities seem to have gone astray
The article discusses the current state of Argentina, highlighting a lack of clear priorities and persistent contradictions within the political and judicial systems. It focuses on recent developments in corruption investigations, particularly the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the asset seizure against Cristina Kirchner and others. The piece critiques the judicial system's inefficiency and inconsistency, noting that while some cases progress quickly, others become entangled in legal processes for years. The article also points out the apparent contradiction where the judiciary simultaneously seeks to recover public resources through judicial condemnation and orders the restoration of economic benefits for the same political figure. This perceived inconsistency contributes to public disillusionment with the justice system.

The world's largest iceberg has melted after almost 40 years - up to 12,000 square miles [3,900 sq km]
El iceberg A23a, considerado durante más de 30 años como el más grande del mundo, finalmente se desintegro después de un proceso prolongado de fracturación y derretimiento en el Atlántico Sur. Originario de la plataforma de hielo Filchner en 1986, el A23a se movió lentamente durante décadas antes de iniciar su avance hacia el norte en 2020. En 2024, ingresó a la Corriente Circumpolar Antártica pero se encontró atrapado en un vórtice marino, lo que causó su descomposición acelerada. Su desintegración representa un ejemplo importante para estudiar el impacto del cambio climático en las masas de hielo polar.
