The blue dollar, without brake: it shot up and exceeded 0

The rise of the marginal currency occurred in the midst of suggestions to the main stock brokers asking for their collaboration so that they do not operate with liquidation, and thus stop the rise of the blue dollar.

The informal dollar thus reached a new historical record, and did not stop rising, surpassing the $295 that it had marked last Friday.

The escalation has occurred mainly since the increase in the rate of taxes on the tourist dollar began to be applied and the Central Bank (BCRA) tightened the exchange rate clamp on companies, after the resignation of the then Minister of Economy, Martín Guzmán.

Among the financial exchange rates, the spot with settlement, operated with the Global 2030, rose 1.3% to reach a record of $307.95, with which the exchange gap reaches 138.5%.

The MEP or stock dollar was quoted stable at $295.23, which left a difference of 128.6% with the official wholesale exchange rate

According to sources from financial operators, calls were made to the main stock brokers asking them not to operate with liquidation, which caused the dollar not to shoot up even more.

“From the Government they asked us to collaborate with the contado con liqui”, was, words more, words less, the message that Byma sent to the agents since the morning, according to market sources.

“It was not a request, but a suggestion,” they clarify from the other side of the counter. The Alycs were conditioned, because nobody wants to refuse and that on the same day a surprise audit appears on the part of the National Securities Commission” indicated the stockbrokers.

The BCRA would also have intervened strongly in the cash market of the GD30 bond, with which financial exchange rates are referenced, to stop the rise of the MEP dollar, after it passed its historical record of $300.

The savings dollar or solidarity dollar, which includes taxes, rose 47 cents to $224.52 and the new tourist dollar, which also has a 45% collection for the advance on Personal Income and Property Tax, rose 49 cents to $238, 72.

The blue dollar also soared in the interior of the country and in the provinces of Buenos Aires, San Luis, Salta and Córdoba, the parallel dollar jumped between $302 and $303, while in Santa Cruz the value reaches $305, while in the rest remain at $300.
