The offer disappeared a bit and it seems to me that they are adjusting the prices of the blue to what the CCL and the free MEP are, which are above $ 200“.

Regarding what could happen in the short term, Buteler said that “it is possible to take a break this week. The trend is upward and will continue with the same old saws. Take a jump, go back a couple of pesos, lateralize a few weeks and go back up. As long as they fail to control inflation and lower the emission, obviously the blue trend is up. “” We are in Argentina and if there is one thing that is safe, it is to bet on the dollar. Two weeks ago it was $ 185, $ 15 can be accommodated upstairs but $ 25 I don’t see it, it’s going to rest a bit“, Hill.
