The central bank bought today close to $20 million in the foreign exchange market and accumulates almost $140 million in the last six wheels, all positive.
The monetary entity thus chained its sixth day without net sales, after a long streak with negative daily balancesproduct of the important demand for energy, and a slowdown in the liquidation of the agro-export complex.
“The second fortnight of August shows a slight recovery in reserves after a start of the month with sharp falls that heralded a larger negative result than that of last July. The slow but perceptible improvement in the income of exporters together with the maintenance of restrictions to access the foreign exchange market combine to present a picture that is further removed from the tension reflected in the beginning of August“, he analyzed Gustavo Quintanaoperator of PR Corredores de Cambio.
It should be remembered that on Wednesday, taking advantage of a greater liquidation of agriculture, the BCRA made its largest daily purchase of dollars since the end of June, ending operations with a positive balance of some US$80 million, which brings some fresh oxygen to its few reserves. For its part, the demand for energy was US$80 million.
