Argentina country risk plummets to lowest level since May 2018

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentina's closely-watched country risk index fell sharply on Tuesday to its lowest level since May 2018, according to traders, reflecting investor confidence in the South American country's assets.

The index, which shows the yield spread on bonds versus comparable U.S. debt and is a reflection of how investors view the country's debt, fell more than 100 basis points to a level of 454.
