Argentine currency exchange rate fluctuations

Overview

In early September 2026, the Argentine foreign exchange market reported various rates for the dollar and euro. The official dollar was priced at $1,530 for sale and $1,480 for purchase, while the informal ‘blue dollar’ maintained a $15 gap in selling prices at $1,545. By mid-September, exchange rates for the Argentine peso showed slight fluctuations. The ‘dólar blue’ was trading at $1,535 for purchase and $1,555 for sale. The official rate via Banco Nación was recorded at $1,485 for purchase and $1,535 for sale, while the ‘dólar tarjeta’ was priced between $1,930.50 and $1,995.50. On September 18, 2026, the exchange rate landscape showed high parity between official bank rates and financial market rates. The Banco Nación official retail sale rate was $1,535.00, while the MEP dollar stood at $1,533.86 and the CCL dollar at $1,594.06. The informal blue dollar maintained a narrow dispersion of less than 2% relative to bank rates, trading at $1,535.00 for purchase and $1,555.00 for sale. Simultaneously, the Euro Blue market exhibited volatility, with the Euro Blue trading at $1,649.00 for purchase and $1,685.00 for sale, creating a notable disparity against the Euro Oficial, which was quoted between approximately $1,731.55 and $1,743.80. By September 25, 2026, the Euro Blue rate was recorded at $1,659.00 for purchase and $1,696.00 for sale, compared to an official Euro rate of $1,736.16. This discrepancy is viewed as a reflection of the “economic and political uncertainty” facing the country. Detailed data for August 2026 confirms high demand for US dollars, with gross purchases reaching USD 2,853 million—the second-highest monthly total of the year. Approximately 1.7 million individuals participated in these purchases, while roughly 734,000 individuals sold currency totaling USD 390 million, resulting in net purchases of USD 2,463 million.
