Official and blue dollar rates retreat in Argentina this February

The dollar exchange rate has fallen by $55 since the start of the year, despite the Central Bank's purchases adding over US$1,600 million to its reserves. Financial quotations are also losing ground in this context.

In Argentina's foreign exchange market, the official dollar and blue dollar rates fell by $55 since the beginning of 2026, according to reports from February 10. This decline occurs amid interventions by the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA), which has acquired more than US$1,600 million to bolster its international reserves. Despite these purchases, the exchange rate has not maintained stability, and parallel and financial quotations also show decreases.

The report notes that, at the close of this Tuesday, February 10, the widespread retreat affects various dollar modalities. The BCRA continues its strategy of accumulating foreign currency, but the market responds with a depreciation of the peso against the dollar. Specific quotation figures for the day are not detailed, but the pattern indicates a downward trend in the dollar's value in pesos.

This dynamic reflects ongoing monetary policies, where the central bank aims to balance reserves and exchange stability. Observers note that, although reserves are growing, external and internal factors influence market volatility.
