Overview

• The official dollar sold at $1,450 at Banco Nación with the wholesale rate near $1,424, financial rates topped $1,500, dollar bonds fell up to 6% and the risk-country gauge hovered around 1,230 points.
• Traders reported heavy official action that capped the wholesale price near $1,380 with offers around $450–$550 million, while market sources said the Treasury sold more than $650 million and gross reserves dropped $748 million on payments and month-end flows.

• After informal pressure, several virtual wallets paused sales of the official dollar as the Central Bank reiterated that only authorized banks and exchange houses may intermediate currency purchases, noting no new rules for retail access.
• Cancillería confirmed a Milei–Trump meeting in Washington on October 14 as proposals for U.S. financial support remain publicly framed as contingent on election results, and INDEC reported record gross external debt of US$305.043 billion at end-Q2.
