Argentina’s Dollar Gaps Tighten as Blue Slips to 1,405 and Financial Rates Hover Near 1,440

Narrower FX gaps follow a valuation-driven rise in reserves.

Overview

  • Banco Nación lists the retail dollar at ARS 1,325 buy and ARS 1,375 sell, while the blue trades at ARS 1,385/1,405 with higher quotes such as ARS 1,420 in Córdoba.
  • Financial dollars show limited premiums versus the official rate, with MEP near ARS 1,409–1,413 and CCL around ARS 1,440–1,450, leaving spreads in the mid–single digits.
  • Gross international reserves increased by about US$195 million to US$42.251 billion, a move largely explained by price gains in currencies and gold reported by the central bank.
  • Short‑term domestic rates climbed notably, with TAMAR rising to roughly 54.38% and BADLAR to about 49.56% nominal annual, signaling tighter local financial conditions.
  • The card/tourist dollar stands near ARS 1,787.50 under a 30% perception, as trading operates within the post‑cepo framework that includes managed floating bands.
