Overview
- The Banco Nación official rate closed at $1,480 (buy) and $1,530 (sell) on Saturday, September 12, according to the reporting.
- The informal dólar blue was reported at $1,525 (buy) and $1,545 (sell) on the same day, keeping its premium over the official rate modest.
- Financial‑market channels traded higher with the dólar MEP around $1,536–$1,539 and the dólar CCL near $1,594–$1,597, reflecting stronger pricing for dollar access via securities.
- Journalists note the calculated gap between the official rate and the blue at roughly 3 percent, a level that market participants read as a sign of limited short‑term FX pressure.
- Inflation for August was 1.7 percent and banks are expected to open on Monday using the prior close unless an unexpected shock changes conditions, which could affect households trying to buy dollars through home banking or market channels.
