22nd April 2025 | Hong Kong
UK global currency risk management specialist Argentex ($68 million market value) share trading has been suspended (22/4/25) due to near term liquidity position caused by margin calls linked to FX forward & options book. Argentex is exposed to significant volatility in FX rates due to USD devaluation after United States President Trump tariff policies & government spending cuts. Announcement (22/4/25): “Argentex Group PLC (AIM: AGFX), the global specialist in currency risk management, provides the following update regarding its financial position. Following the Company’s recently published FY24 Annual Results on 2 April 2025 and subsequent associated results investor roadshow, Argentex has been exposed to significant volatility in foreign exchange rates, particularly in relation to the rapid devaluing of the US Dollar against other major benchmark currencies which has been precipitated by the various recent announcements from President Trump regarding tariff policies and US government spending cuts. As a result, the Company has experienced a rapid and significant impact on its near term liquidity position, driven by, inter alia, margin calls linked to its FX forward and options books. The Company has taken a number of steps to preserve cash and increase the collateral received from its counterparties. In addition, the Company is considering a number of options for the business. The Company also has the support of its principal liquidity provider and is in discussions with them regarding ways to further strengthen its liquidity position given the ongoing macro uncertainty, noting the likelihood of continued volatility in the currency markets and the associated exposure presented within the Company’s FX forward and options books. In the event that the volatility in currency markets worsens materially then the Company’s financial liquidity position, if not strengthened in the near term, would be significantly stretched. In light of these developments and the current material uncertainty, the Company also announces that it has requested a suspension of trading in the Company’s ordinary shares on AIM with effect from 07.30 a.m. today.” Argentex – As global experts in currency risk management and alternative banking, we offer bespoke services alongside market leading technology for businesses and financial institutions.
