Argentina's Economy Minister Sergio Massa pledged on Tuesday to unleash 'all tools' to counter a dangerous slide in the peso currency, which has plumbed near 500 pesos per dollar in popular black markets amid wider economic fears.

The 7% plunge on Tuesday followed Monday's 4.6% daily decline, already the largest in nine months. The gap between the black and official rates of some 124% is the widest since last July, which warps prices and further fans high inflation.

"I'd be very surprised if this government devalues the official exchange rate before the presidential election, but it's probably one of the first things the next government will do."
