Complicated start of the month for the prices of the dollar in Argentina. After three rounds of “medium stability”, almost all foreign currencies returned to register significant increases in the different foreign exchange markets of the country, except for the financial ones that fell.
All this occurs while the Central Bank (BCRA) tries to recover the 130 million dollars sold in January with the purchase of new foreign exchange. Yesterday, the highest banking entity closed with a positive balance by adding 2 million dollars to its coffers, an intervention that made the dollar official.
This is how the markets wake up today
On the blackboards of Banco Nación (BNA), the dollar official had a slight advance of nine cents (+0.05%) in the last wheel and now it is trading at $104.80 to buy and $110.80 to sell. While in private banking, the US currency is around $111.03 for sale.
Also, the dollar solidarity or saver, which is made up of the official contribution plus 30% of the Country Tax and 35% of the Income Tax, scored another 15 cents and is now trading at $182.82 for unit sales.
stock market
As anticipated, the only two foreign exchange that open the wheel today without rises are the financial ones. First of all, the dollar Contado Con Liqui (CCL), which is obtained from operations in the international stock market, It fell to $228.89 and ranked as the most expensive coin in the market.
Meanwhile, the dollar MEP or Stock Exchange, which is used for operations in the local market, fell $2.82 (-0.980%) last day and now it is trading at an average sale price of $211.65 each ticket, its lowest price in two weeks. This would be the third most expensive exchange rate in the country.
Parallel market
After three losing streaks and stability, the dollar blue registered a variation of +1.17% and scored $2.50 on the last day, so now buys at an average of $213.50 and sells for $216.50 per unit.
Thus, the informal currency that circulates without regulations in the parallel market widens its gap with the official one to 105.2%, almost four percentage points more than last Friday (January 28). Let us remember that after the announcement of the agreement with the IMF, the blue fell abruptly and lost 10 pesos in one day.
