in dialogue with Ambit, Gabriel Caamaño, economist at Consultora Ledesmadescribed the context in which the illegal dollar moved: “For several months I had been running after a very high nominal value, because the interest rate in pesos, the treasury rose and the BCRA through, were encouraging speculative positions in pesos In fact, we have seen the stock of private fixed-term deposits reach new real highs in the last few weeks.”
Whereupon, he warned, the blue dollar “would be starting to catch up with the rest of the nominal value” and, he added, “there was negative signs at the local level, on the one hand, with the debt swap, statements by the economic team, a BCRA that is issuing strong again to buy in secondary and continues to lose reserves and the treasury and the BCRA that do not want to continue raising the rateall this combo may have influenced the reduction of this process of going to the rate in pesos and that part of that flow begins to go back to the dollar”.
“That could explain, I would not speak yet of the disarmament of positions, if that the flow partially redirects”closed Caamano.
