Court Ruling on Argentina's YPF Stake: A U.S. appeals court has temporarily halted a judge's order for Argentina to relinquish its 51% stake in the oil and gas company YPF to satisfy a $16.1 billion judgment, allowing Argentina to appeal the decision.
Background of the Dispute: The case stems from Argentina's 2012 seizure of YPF from Spain's Repsol without a tender offer to minority shareholders Petersen Energia Inversora and Eton Park Capital Management, who are now represented by Burford Capital.
