Unleashed, yesterday the blue dollar flew $11 and broke a new historical nominal record, closing the day at $283, according to a survey by Ámbito in the informal foreign exchange market, to surpass the price of the MEP on the Stock Exchange without stopping. In the midst of doubts and uncertainty about the local situation, after the change in the economic leadership, the parallel dollar surpassed its intraday record price of $280, recorded last Monday, July 4, as a reaction to the departure of the Minister of Economy, Martín Guzmán, and the arrival of Silvina Batakis, in his replacement. In addition, with the shot of this day the blue was above the price of the MEP dollar, which was trading low and close to $279. This hasn’t happened since last April. The informal dollar came from rising another $4 on Tuesday, after scoring its first drop in four days on Monday as an initial reaction to the announcements by the Minister of Economy, Silvina Batakis. Thus, in the last two rounds it grew by $15. All in all, the exchange rate gap with the official wholesale exchange rate widens to more than 120%. Let us remember that the parallel dollar accumulated a jump of $34 last week, in a period of great volatility and some confusion among the cueveros in the face of a disparity of prices, after the unforeseen changes in the Economy. For its part, the savings dollar or solidarity dollar -retailer plus taxes- increased 45 cents to $223 on average.
