“China’s devaluation couldn’t come at a worse time for Argentina.  About a quarter of the country’s $33.7 billion of foreign reserves are now denominated in yuan, which suffered its biggest loss since 1994 on Tuesday.  The move is eroding the cash Argentina uses to pay its debt and comes as the nation is effectively shut out of overseas bond markets and struggling to defend its slumping peso at home. The country’s yuan holdings have ballooned since it signed an $11 billion currency-swap agreement with the People’s Bank of China in July.  In the unregulated market Argentines use to sidestep the government’s currency controls, the peso has sunk 12 percent in the past two months.”
