  "account": "In the first quarter of 2026, the Duquesne Family Office led by Stanley Druckenmiller significantly increased its investment in Argentine equities. The firm boosted its stake in YPF, the state-controlled oil company, from 0.83 million shares to an impressive 3.2 million shares, representing a more than fivefold expansion. Additionally, Duquesne also re-entered the Global X MSCI Argentina ETF, an investment vehicle that tracks the performance of the largest and most successful Argentine companies.\n\nHowever, just a few months later, Druckenmiller decided to unwind his positions in both YPF and the ETF. By June 30, Duquesne's holdings in these Argentine assets had shrunk to $142.7 million in YPF, $30 million in the ETF, and a fresh $3 million investment in Grupo Financiero Galicia, an Argentine bank holding company. The fund also maintained a $8.6 million position in another Argentine energy company, bringing the total worth of Argentine shares in the portfolio to $184.3 million, which constituted 3.5% of Duquesne's reported portfolio value.",
