For the seventh consecutive round,
the blue dollar rises again this Thursday
to $ 184
in the city of Buenos Aires and the
gap with the official exchange rate is already almost 91%
.
Meanwhile, financial dollars jump, even with official intervention: the cash with settlement exceeds $ 170 and the MEP dollar is trading at $ 168.61.
Although the government insists that the measures taken in the last long weekend to limit dollarization in the financial market will be enough to avoid an exchange rate turbulence such as that experienced in September and October of last year,
the pressures on free dollars persist.
The blue dollar is nearing its historic high of $ 195
reached last October and marks its peak so far in 2021. The widening exchange gap worries City analysts and officials alike.
Cash with settlement jumps more than 2% and touches $ 170.32. Meanwhile, the stock market dollar or MEP adds 1.4% and is achieved at $ 168.61
.
In the previous wheels, both prices began to rise, but the strong official intervention meant that in the end they ended unchanged.
Operators of the City reported that, despite the new obstacles that the Central Bank imposed on trading with bonds, this Wednesday
the volume traded in the AL30 in pesos,
the most used security to dollarize, was the
fourth highest so far of the year
.
And, at the same time, that for the AL30D it was for the second consecutive wheel the highest so far in 2021.
Meanwhile, in the official market, the wholesale dollar, accessed by the big players, operates four cents above the previous close, at $ 96.40.
In the previous one, the
Central Bank was able to buy foreign currency again and acquired US $ 30 million, in
addition to the more than US $ 1,000 it has accumulated since the beginning of the month.
Stocks and bonds
On Wall Street, Argentine shares fall to 3.3% as is the case with the role of the French Bank.
The poor performance also had an impact on the local stock market and the Merval index lost 0.8% after the opening.
Meanwhile, dollar bonds present mixed results and country risk, which is measured by JP Morgan banks and shows the cost that each economy pays for taking on debt, remains at 1,598 points.
