The blue dollar adds its third wheel in a downward trend
.
In the City of Buenos Aires they reported that
due to higher sales
, from the beginning of the financial day the price of the green ticket in the
informal
market
fell to $ 180.
Thus, the free price of the US currency
is close to closing the month with a rise of $ 10.
According to different players, these end-of-month sales would be linked to
"friendly hands" to the Government,
which came out to offer the ticket to prevent the monthly jump from being even greater.
With this drop in the blue,
the gap with the official breaks the 90% level to position itself at around 86.29%.
In the Single Free Exchange Market, the
wholesale exchange rate
, accessed by the big players, operates this Wednesday
with a rise of five cents to $ 96.62
.
Exchange traders reported in the last week of July a combination of a
higher demand than the supply of foreign currency.
In the previous round, the
Central Bank had to go out and sell US $ 70 million
to meet the demand of importers and prevent the exchange rate from jumping.
Thus, the monetary authority
interrupted a streak of almost three months
in which it had been able to buy dollars or had ended its arbitrage in the wheel with a neutral balance.
From the body chaired by Miguel Pesce they warned that
it is not a change in trend,
but that the reaction this Tuesday had to do with a usual dynamic at the end of the month
This same thesis was shared by different analysts from the City, who, although they warned that
months with greater demand for dollars are expected in which the Central must go out to sell
to the market, they trust in the power of fire to keep the price without major shocks. of the currency until the elections of next November.
Although since the end of June, due to seasonal reasons, a lower supply and a higher demand in the official market have made the Central's sales more common
, so far this month the agency has been able to buy about US $ 970 million.
At the same time, in the financial market, the two "screen" prices move up at noon,
with
increases
of 1.6% and 1% for the cash with settlement and the MEP dollar.
In the last weeks at the beginning of the wheel, more pressure is registered in these markets, but near the end a greater official intervention makes prices fall.
In the month they accumulate an increase of 3%.
