US judge orders Argentina, facing $16.1 billion judgment, to give up YPF stake
By Jonathan Stempel NEW YORK (Reuters) -A U.S. judge on Monday ordered Argentina to give up its 51% stake in oil and gas company YPF to partially satisfy a $16.1 billion court judgment, handing a defeat to the cash-strapped country. U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska in Manhattan said Argentina must transfer its YPF shares within 14 days to BNY Mellon, and instruct it to transfer the shares within one business day to the plaintiffs. On X, Argentina's President Javier Milei vowed to appeal to "defend national interests." The case arose from Argentina's 2012 seizure of the 51% YPF stake held by Spain's Repsol, without tendering for shares held by minority investors Petersen Energia Inversora and Eton Park Capital Management. Argentina has been appealing Preska's September 2023 decision to award $14.39 billion to Petersen and $1.71 billion to Eton Park. The plaintiffs are represented by litigation funder Burford Capital, which has said it expected to receive 35% and 73% of Petersen's and Eton Park's respective damages. Shares of Burford soared in New York after the decision, closing up 22%, while YPF shares closed down 5.6%. BLOW TO MILEI Preska's decision is a blow to Milei, whose government must urgently build up foreign currency reserves to pay its debts while fighting inflation. The country in April obtained a $20 billion loan program from the International Monetary Fund. In a statement, Argentina said the decision was "wrong on the law" and would interfere with U.S. foreign policy. It will ask Preska to put her decision on hold during the appeal. The U.S. Department of Justice had sided with Argentina in opposing a turnover of the YPF shares. Burford and its lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Preska ruled on the same day that Argentina asked London's High Court to block enforcement of the judgment. JUDGE REJECTS COMITY ARGUMENT Argentina had argued that the YPF shares were immune from turnover under the federal Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA). Burford countered that a commercial activity exception to immunity, together with Argentina's "many years" of evasion, justified a turnover. In her 33-page decision, Preska said Argentina's control over YPF triggered the exception, and the shares could be transferred despite being located outside the United States. She also rejected Argentina's suggestion that comity, or the respect that countries afford each other by limiting how far their laws reach, weighed against her getting involved. "Comity is not a one-way street," Preska wrote. "The United States has a strong interest in enforcing its judgments," she added. "Foreign governments cannot simply override the exceptions to the FSIA by invoking its own law to shield its assets from execution in the United States." Argentina previously sought to limit overall damages to about $4.9 billion.

US dollar suffers worst start to a year since 1973 over Trump tariff concerns
The US dollar suffered its worst first-half decline in more than 50 years as fears over President Trump's tariff policies have driven down the world's principal reserve currency. The greenback weakened 10.7% in the first six months of the year compared to a basket of currencies from major trading partners – the worst drop since 1973 when President Nixon stopped tying the dollar to the price of gold. 3 President Trump unveiled harsh tariffs during a 'Liberation Day' press conference in April. AFP via Getty Images But its decline could be part of Trump's broader vision to devalue the dollar — an idea floated by Stephen Miran, recently appointed Chairman of the US Council of Economic Advisers in what has been dubbed the Mar-a-Lago Accord. A weaker dollar makes US exports much cheaper, and could aid Trump's oft-stated goal of boosting manufacturing at home, as well as reducing the nation's trade deficit, the thinking goes. When he was campaigning for a second term, an official in the first Trump administration told Politico that 'currency revaluation is likely to be a priority' because of 'the viewpoint that [an overvalued dollar] contributes to the trade deficit.' Trump has not weighed in on the speculation about devaluing the dollar. 'President Trump has repeatedly affirmed his commitment to the dominance of the dollar as the world's reserve currency,' White House press spokesman Kush Desai told The Post on Tuesday. 'Ten-year Treasury yields rallying down nearly 40 basis points since Inauguration Day, four consecutive expectation-beating inflation reports, and the trillions in historic investment commitments that have poured into the United States since Election Day are all indicative of the confidence that investors and markets continue to have in our economy and currency.' But many experts claim Trump's hefty tariffs are putting pressure on the dollar and forcing global investors to rethink their ties to the currency. 'Trump is definitely playing with fire,' Stephen Miller, a consultant for GSFM, a unit of Canada's CI Financial Corp. in Australia, told Bloomberg. While a weaker dollar should theoretically help US exporters, there's still a lot of uncertainty when it comes to global trade because of the Trump administration's ongoing negotiations with key nations, which are staring down a fast-approaching July 9 deadline. The dollar's fall comes after it soared on Trump's re-election win and peaked in mid-January on hopes he would bring a pro-growth mindset to the White House. 3 The US dollar has weakened 10.7% in the first six months of the year when compared to a basket of currencies. SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images But in April, Trump's 'Liberation Day' announcement revealed tariffs that were much stiffer than analysts and economists had predicted, spurring a broad shift away from US investments. 'Full-scale de-dollarization, if it ever comes, is still a long way away,' Rick Rieder, chief investment officer of global fixed income at BlackRock, said in the company's most recent forecast. But the drop in confidence in the US dollar, which is typically seen as a safe haven asset, is concerning – and could worsen with a rise in government debt, according to Rieder. Trump's massive budget bill, which is projected to add $3 trillion in national debt, narrowly squeaked through the Senate on Tuesday. It awaits final approval in the House. 3 Investors are fearful that President Trump's tariffs could keep inflation and interest rates higher for longer. Getty Images The concerns over higher inflation and debt have have pushed long-term Treasury yields lower. The 10-year yield started near 5% this year and has steadily fallen, reaching 4.267% on Tuesday. 'I think we're going to continue to have this higher pressure on the low end of the yield curve because we haven't really dealt anything away with the deficit or inflation for that matter. In fact, there's more risk now than anything,' Ben Emons, founder of FedWatch Advisors, said on CNBC's 'Fast Money' Tuesday. 'I do think it's related to Treasuries, that if Treasuries get more under pressure, the dollar will get weaker.'
