It took less than a week, and a landslide defeat for free-market reformer Javier Milei, to make Morgan Stanley abandon its bullish call on Argentina.

The Wall Street bank, alongside rivals including Bank of America and JP­Morgan Chase advised clients to buy the government’s bonds before a key local election in Buenos Aires this weekend, betting that the president’s recent political stumbles had already been priced in during sell-offs that swept through the nation’s financial markets the past few months.
