All Argentina’s bondholders are created equal
Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner addresses the nation from Government House in Buenos Aires June 16, 2014, in this handout courtesy of the Argentine Presidency. Fernandez said in a nationwide televised speech on Monday that Argentina would honor its payments to holders of its restructured debt and so avoid a default despite suffering a setback in its long-running legal battle against "holdout" investors. The U.S. Supreme Court earlier on Monday declined to hear Argentina’s appeal over its battle with hedge funds that refused to take part in its debt restructurings. The court's decision was unexpected and risks toppling Latin America's No 3 economy into a new default.
