The blue dollar rose again on the neighboring shore. The informal price registered this Tuesday an increase of 2 pesos to settle at 208 Argentine pesos for the purchase and 211 for sale. In this way, it surpassed all previous marks and reached a new all-time high.
With this new advance, the price of the blue dollar once again widened the gap with respect to the official exchange rate: it showed a difference of more than 102% compared to the wholesaler and about 92% compared to the retail average.
The ticket thus continued to move around these values, as it has shown in recent weeks, in which it operated in a range between 206 and 210 Argentine pesos, roughly, through moderate upward and downward records.
the official dollar retailer advanced to 109.52 Argentine pesos in the average of the banks, while the wholesaler closed at 104.17 Argentine pesos, seven cents above the previous closing, again within the range of daily devaluation that the Central Bank has been validating in recent weeks.
