Argentina’s Parallel Dollar Rates Stay in the Mid‑ARS 1,300s as Blue, CCL and Cripto Tick Up

Narrow gaps across financial, crypto, informal quotes signal persistent pressure on the peso.

Overview

  • On Saturday, the blue dollar was quoted at ARS 1,350 for buying and ARS 1,370 for selling, while the official Banco Nación rate stood at ARS 1,340 and ARS 1,380.
  • Financial rates were higher on Saturday, with the CCL at ARS 1,382.90 for buying and ARS 1,386.10 for selling, and the MEP at ARS 1,385.40 and ARS 1,388.60, according to Clarín.
  • By Friday’s close, the CCL was at ARS 1,377.20/1,378.30 and the cripto dollar at ARS 1,376.05/1,384.20, with week‑on‑week gains of 2% and 1% respectively and month‑to‑date increases of 3%.
  • Clarín reports roughly 2% spreads between CCL and MEP and between the cripto dollar and the blue, while the gap between the blue and the official rate was about 1%.
  • The CCL reflects bond operations that settle abroad and trades until 16:30 on weekdays, whereas the cripto quote tracks stablecoin pricing; with markets closed on Saturday, reference values reflect the prior business day, La Nación notes.
