Overview

• Banco Nación closed the official dollar at $1,310 after a 12–13 session slide, with the wholesale rate at $1,292.50 and the blue at about $1,340.
• The Finance Ministry ran an emergency auction that placed ARS 3.788 trillion to pull pesos from the market following a weak rollover last week.
• The Central Bank lifted reserve requirements again, adding 5 points on sight deposits to roughly 45% with integration allowed via primary‑auction government bonds through late November.
• Gross reserves hovered near US$41.7 billion after a small daily drop, retracing part of the IMF‑driven rise earlier this month.
• Rates and dollar futures swung sharply as MEP and CCL eased near ARS 1,297–1,302, futures priced further depreciation into year‑end, and equities fell notably on liquidity strain.
