On Monday, the first business day after the government's new "cash with liquid" stocks, the blue dollar rose 4 pesos to $ 177, the highest value in the year.
However, it had reached $ 179 and "helping hands" lowered it.
This Tuesday, the blue started lower, at $ 176 for sale.
Meanwhile, the
dollar counted with liquid,
which is used to
transfer
foreign currency abroad and where the National Securities Commission intervened with the new resolution, rises 1.6%, to 169.41.
The CNV set a nominal limit of 100,000 to carry out cash operations with liquid, which in practice is around US $ 35,000.
If a company needs to make more dollars, it must resort to the so-called "SENEBI" market, which are one-to-one operations between private parties.
In that market, the dollar was trading at $ 171 on Tuesday.
The MEP dollar, which is also obtained through the purchase and sale of bonds, but in the local market, advanced 0.6%, to $ 167.08.
On Monday, operators pointed out that, after the initial pressure, the Central Bank intervened in the bond market and managed to bring the cash settlement down from the $ 173 peak that it had reached at noon.
It also achieved the same with the MEP dollar, which ended at $ 166.05.
In the official market, the wholesale dollar is trading at $ 96.13.
On Monday,
the Central Bank was able to buy US $ 200
million
, so that official purchases in the year accumulate about US $ 7,000 million.
With these numbers, the gap between the official exchange rate and the blue is 83%.
It is down one point from Monday, when it reached its highest level in six months.
Government measures, by which the CNV limits the volume of bond operations and the BCRA increases its control mechanisms, aim to keep the distance between the two prices at bay.
It seeks to
avoid a jump like the one that occurred last October, when the gap reached 130%.
