With great price dispersion and a tense climate, the parallel dollar jumped $21 (+8.8%) throughout the day to the closing record of $260, its lowest value throughout the day, after trading between $267 and $280 for much of the wheel.
Thus, the exchange gap between the informal dollar and the wholesale official exchange rate rose to 106.4%, the highest level since last January.
Meanwhile, with estimated prices given that it was a holiday in the United States, the CCL -operated with the Global 2030 bond- rose 11.5% to $281.18, so the gap with the wholesale exchange rate approached 123, two%. Meanwhile, the MEP dollar -also valued with the Global 2030-, soared 9.9% to $272.4. Thus, the spread with the official exchange rate reached 116.3%.
Official dollar and reserves
In this context, the official retail dollar rose 1.06% ($1.38) to $132.07, the highest rise since October 2020. Therefore, the solidarity dollar advanced 1.05% ($2.29) to $217.92 .
Meanwhile, the wholesale dollar, which is directly regulated by the BCRA, rose 50 cents to $125.95. In this framework, the Central Bank sold US$98 million due to a greater demand for dollars by savers in the retail market.
On Friday, the Central Bank had started July with sales of US$190 million, due to the demand for dollar savings and energy imports, market sources indicated.
After closing in June with a positive balance of US$950 million and accumulating more than US$1.8 billion in the first half, which enabled it to reach the reserve accumulation goal agreed upon with the IMF, the monetary authority began the month with a negative balance, after accumulating between Monday and Thursday some US$1.5 billion.
