The monetary authority purchased USD 100 million, reached 121 consecutive days with a positive balance, and consolidated an accumulation of over USD 11.2 billion so far in 2026
The Central Bank of the Argentine Republic started the day with a movement of absolute solvency by securing an impressive amount of 100 million dollars to strengthen its international reserves. This strategic maneuver marks day 121 of continuous currency accumulation, allowing for a total exceeding 11.2 billion dollars just in the first half of the year.
In a market that breathes full confidence in the economic direction, the amount traded in the spot segment regained exceptional vigor, reaching USD 798.8 million, a figure deemed exceptional considering the holiday in the United States.
Buying and selling dollars
As highlighted by expert Gustavo Quintana from PR Currency Brokers, the wholesale exchange rate showed an orderly behavior, closing at 1,488.50 pesos, which represents a weekly increase of just 0.8%, a figure significantly lower than the 1.1% recorded in the previous period.
This "very good dynamic that the external sector has been showing", emphasized by the firm Cohen Financial Allies, translates into a historic price convergence where the public rate at Banco Nación and the so-called blue dollar matched their quotation at $1,510, eliminating past distortions.
International Reserves 2019-2026
The predictability is such that the official rate remains at a safe distance of 21.6% from the ceiling of the exchange rate bands set at $1,810.56. In this framework of institutional strength, the Secretary of Finance, Federico Furiase, brought total reassurance to investors by confirming that financing for the coming years is secured: "we will demonstrate that financing is completely closed not only for 2026 but also for 2027". With private dollar deposits remaining strong at 39.328 billion dollars, the management of Javier Milei reaffirms that the path of economic freedom is the only guarantee for a powerful and respected Argentina on the global stage.
