Overview
- The weekend market reference, using the last business‑day closes, records Banco Nación’s official dollar at 1,495 pesos (buy) and 1,545 pesos (sell).
- The informal dólar blue is quoted around 1,540/1,560 pesos while financial-dollar rates show the dólar MEP near 1,544.30/1,557.30 and the dólar CCL close to 1,615.30/1,616.60.
- The dólar tarjeta stands much higher at 2,008.50 pesos because the official rate is layered with taxes and withholdings applied to card purchases abroad.
- Clarín and La Nacion note short‑term moves with MEP and CCL up roughly 1% week‑to‑week, signaling modest upward pressure on financial channels compared with the official market.
- Regional context from other outlets shows Peru’s interbank rate at 3.4170 soles per dollar and the euro at 45.67 pesos uruguayos, helping readers compare Argentina’s fragmented dollar market with nearby currency benchmarks.
