* Chile’s Finance Minister Felipe Larraín has said that the plunge in Argentina’s stock market and peso following the surprise results from party primary elections which gave a major victory to the Frente de Todos opposition presidential ticket led by Alberto Fernández will impact the Chilean economy, but the impact will be limited and felt mainly by a few Chilean companies which operate in Argentina. The surprise primary outcome sent the S&P Merval index plunging 48% in US dollar terms. Chile’s President Sebastián Piñera pointed out that “the Chilean and Argentine economies are in very different situations”. Argentina is in a recession while Chile is growing.
