The blue dollar closed at $1,435 for selling and $1,415 for buying, down $5 from the previous day. The official dollar at Banco Nación stood at $1,415, while Central Bank reserves dropped 280 million dollars. These movements reflect increased supply from corporate debt issuances and reduced dollarization by savers.
At the close of the currency trading day on Monday, November 17, 2025, the blue dollar fell $5, quoting at $1,435 on the selling side and $1,415 on the buying side, according to Perfil reports. This decline contrasts with some mentions of an increase in other sources, though final prices align across multiple reports.
The official retail dollar averaged $1,422.09 in major banks, with Banco Nación setting it at $1,415 for selling. The wholesale exchange rate stood at $1,378, though a later source reported $1,402, highlighting downward movements explained by greater supply from corporate debt issuances and reduced dollar demand from savers.
Other variants showed: MEP dollar at $1,448.93 (selling with GD30 bond), contado con liquidación (CCL) at $1,494.06, and crypto dollar at $1,487 average. The card dollar, with a 30% surcharge for foreign expenses, quoted at $1,839.50.
The Central Bank did not intervene in the market, leading to a reserve loss of 280 million dollars, closing at 40.356 million. This dynamic occurs amid exchange rate unification without restrictions for the official rate, but with ongoing demand for parallel options.
