Overview
- Banco Nación’s official exchange rate was reported at 1,480 pesos for buying and 1,530 pesos for selling on Saturday, September 5, 2026.
- The informal 'dólar blue' was quoted selling at 1,540 pesos while buy prices differed across outlets at 1,493.80 pesos and 1,520 pesos, showing data and timing-driven inconsistencies.
- Financial-dollar quotes used by investors varied by source with MEP around 1,516.90–1,521.98 pesos and CCL around 1,582–1,583.99 pesos, preserving clear gaps between channels.
- Published spreads matter: Clarín calculated roughly a 3% gap between the official rate and the blue, and about a 4% gap between CCL and MEP, which affects costs for buyers and firms moving funds.
- MEP and CCL are created by bond and securities trades such as AL30 operations that let investors convert pesos to dollars, and the upcoming INDEC inflation release on September 10, 2026 could shift demand across these channels.
