The parallel closed on Wednesday at $383
The US currency traded in the parallel market rose by two pesos on Wednesday and remains at record prices.
Meanwhile, the U.S. currency on Banco Nación’s boards is trading unchanged this Wednesday for sale at $191.50.
Blue is up $37 so far in January
With the jump it has made over the past two days (this Wednesday’s $2 rally adds to Tuesday’s $5 rally), blue is up $37 so far this month.
It represents an increase of more than 10% and there is concern about its impact on inflation, as more companies price their products against alternative dollars due to difficulties in obtaining foreign exchange at the rate of official exchange.
