Argentine assets slide, country risk tops 500 points ahead of Fed decision

Argentine equities and global bonds are falling, with country risk exceeding 500 basis points, while the peso weakens slightly in wholesale trade. The decline is driven by rising international tension ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy decision, which is expected to influence capital flows to emerging markets. The market is pricing in heightened uncertainty, and the direction of Argentine assets will hinge on the Fed's tone and any domestic policy response.
