Overview
- Major Argentine banks told the central bank they will resume on Friday with an average official sale price around $1,475, matching the last business-day close.
- Argentina’s parallel and financial references remain above the bank rate: blue near $1,485–$1,505, MEP around $1,476–$1,481, and CCL roughly $1,524–$1,526.
- Peru’s interbank rate closed on December 24 at S/3.365, a slight dip from S/3.366, according to the BCRP.
- Mexico’s peso reference for the holiday relies on the prior session, with Banxico’s FIX around 17.9248 and interbank quotes near 17.93–17.94 per dollar.
- Late-December surveys point to wide 2026 dispersion for Argentina’s official dollar—consensus near $1,746 with inflation around 23.9%—as band indexing to inflation and access restrictions steer demand toward CER bonds.
