Overview
- Market closes show the CCL at about $1,608 while the official wholesale (mayorista) reference sits near $1,515.50, leaving a sizable gap between financial and official channels.
- The informal blue dollar closed around $1,540 for sale, the tarjeta (tourist) rate reached about $2,002, and the crypto-implied dollar using Bitcoin traded near $1,606.76 with Bitcoin around $81,472.
- Sources differ on the MEP figure, with Clarín reporting roughly $1,534.90 and Ámbito $1,538.19, and that divergence changes published brecha calculations between CCL, MEP and the official rate.
- The CCL shows a modest short-term decline of about 1% week-on-week, a small move that still matters because these financial rates steer how companies and investors move pesos into dollars.
- These multiple, split quotes matter for ordinary people and firms because they affect how much dollars cost for cash withdrawals, card purchases and corporate dollar access and they also serve as a barometer of pressure on controls and reserves.
