Argentina, Brazil strike automotive trade deal: source

The deal allows Brazil to export $150 in vehicle value for every $100 it imports from Argentina. The extension of the accord was negotiated by representatives of both countries in Brasilia.

Demand is weak in both countries, as Brazil, the top foreign buyer of Argentine cars, weathers a recession and Argentina grapples with high inflation and the fallout from a December currency devaluation of about 30 percent.
