In this scenario, the dollar Blue and the official dollar registered movements that reflect both market pressure and the containment strategies of the Central Bank.
He dollar Blue, which is negotiated in the informal market, quoted at $ 1,345 for purchase and $ 1,365 for sale, according to surveys carried out in the main caves of the City of Buenos Aires. This figure represents a slight rise with respect to previous days, consolidating an upward trend that has been observed since the beginning of August.

Despite these increases, the gap with the official dollar remains low, around 1.2%, indicating relative stability between both exchange rates.
It should be remembered that the dollar Blue is not acquired in official banks or exchange houses, and its value is usually influenced by the demand for physical tickets, the perception of political and economic risk, and the lack of access to the formal market by certain sectors.
