英文早点丨0722 - 美元割韭菜？阿根廷的货币危机远没有结束……

阿根廷货币比索自4月下旬以来对美元汇率不断走低，这场贬值风暴为上半年的阿根廷经济划出了一道分水岭：第一季度阿经济延续了2017年的复苏势头，增速维持在2.4%左右；4月开始出现萎缩迹象，形势急转而下。汇市风险诱发通货膨胀和资本无序流动，导致经济不确定因素增多。阿根廷比索今年以来贬值幅度已超过50%。为应对汇率危机，阿政府与央行同时采用了抛售美元、提高利率和减少赤字“三管齐下”的做法。

If you don’t learn to think when you are young,you may never learn.----Edison

In May a stronger dollar and higher US Treasury yields prompted international investors to flee risky assets. Most emerging-market currencies suffered, Argentina’s especially. Its twin fiscal and current-account deficits have seen the peso lose more than a third of its value this year, making it the world’s worst-performing currency.

Argentines have long regarded the peso’s strength against the dollar, which is widely used for savings and property transactions, as a yardstick for their country’s economic performance.
