I talked w my son in Bariloche (Patagonia). He owns a successful bar / restaurant. He stated;
Argentines, who used to hedge the pesos by getting dollars and putting them under the mattress, are buying gold. Shops sold out in BA. Big demand. Biz media reports buying gold is a new phenomena for Argentines. (They always used the dollar before.)
2nd pt. - Rich Argentines are bringing their $ money home from US and buying RE in Argentina. Luxury condos prices in BA have rocketed in past 2 weeks but they are buying anything - lots, farmland, houses.
Media saying US is "Argentinizing". There was an article with that title in a major biz paper yesterday. I will try to pull it up later. Wife has the paper in her suitcase now...lol
