June leaves with an unfavorable balance for Argentine assets, and the dollar accelerated its march
The Argentine assets closed June with most declines on Wall Street, with the majority of stocks and bonds posting negative performance this Tuesday. The risk country remained below 430 basis points, while the peso continued to weaken against the dollar, recording its largest monthly increase in nearly a year. Internationally, major U.S. indices showed a slight upward trend, with the second quarter shaping up as the best for the S&P 500 in six years and the Euro Stoxx achieving its best result in five years. The dollar rose alongside the yen falling to its lowest level since 1986. Argentine American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) ended mixed in a volatile day, with gains of up to 1% and losses of up to 2.8%. Companies like Edenor, Grupo Financiero Galicia, and Central Puerto saw significant drops, while Telecom led the gains. Over the month, stocks fell by up to 15.6%, led by state oil company YPF, followed by Telecom and Ternium, while banks mostly rose, with BBVA leading. Locally, the S&P Merval dropped 0.3% to 3,168,607.38 units, but in dollars it fell 0.4% to 2,034.13 points. The peso declined more sharply, losing 4.4% in foreign currency and 0.7% in pesos. Energy stocks were among
On Monday, June 29, the value of the unofficial euro exchange rate—commonly referred to as the "blue euro"—was recorded at varying figures depending on the source. According to one report, the blue euro closed at $1,805.75 for buying and $1,766.75 for selling. Another source indicated that the blue euro was quoted at $1,752.75 for purchase and $1,784.75 for sale on the same date. These discrepancies highlight the fluid nature of the informal market, which often fluctuates rapidly due to supply and demand dynamics outside regulated financial systems.
In contrast, the official euro exchange rate set by the Banco de la Nación Argentina (BNA) showed a more stable figure. One source stated that the official euro closed at $1,625 for buying and $1,725 for selling, while another noted slightly lower values: $1,610 for buying and $1,710 for selling. This gap between the official and blue rates underscores the persistent disparity in currency valuation within Argentina’s economy, where the informal market typically commands a premium over the state-regulated rate.
The blue euro is not the only informal currency rate fluctuating in the country. The so-called "turista" or card euro, used primarily for international transactions involving credit cards, was reported at $2,229.94 for purchasing on one occasion and $2,221.62 on another. These higher figures reflect the additional costs associated with using foreign payment methods, which include fees and conversion charges that further inflate the effective cost of the currency.
Across major Argentine banks, the euro's value varied slightly. On June 29, Banco Ciudad listed the euro at $1,635 for buying and $1,735 for selling. Banco Nación also had similar numbers: $1,635 for buying and $1,735 for selling. Banco Supervielle offered a slightly lower rate, with $1,610 for buying and $1,721 for selling. Other institutions such as Banco Francés were quoted at $1,630 for buying and $1,690 for selling. These differences among banks suggest that even within formal financial channels, there exists some degree of variability influenced by internal policies and market conditions.
The parallel market for the U.S. dollar, known as the blue dollar, also saw activity on this day. It closed at $1,490 for buying and $1,510 for selling according to one report, while another cited $1,415 for buying and $1,435 for selling. These fluctuations in the blue dollar indicate ongoing volatility in the informal foreign exchange sector, which has long been a feature of Argentina’s economic landscape.
The existence of these multiple exchange rates reflects broader economic challenges faced by Argentina, including inflationary pressures, currency controls, and limited access to foreign capital. While the official rates are determined by the central bank, the blue rates emerge from the black market, driven by factors such as speculation, trade imbalances, and public confidence in the national currency. As a result, individuals and businesses often rely on the blue rates when conducting international transactions, despite the risks associated with operating outside the formal financial system.
Looking ahead, continued monitoring of both official and informal exchange rates will be crucial for understanding Argentina’s evolving economic situation. With the blue rates frequently diverging from their official counterparts, policymakers face the challenge of managing expectations and maintaining stability in a complex and dynamic financial environment.

The article discusses the economic impact of increased Argentine travel abroad during the World Cup, particularly focusing on the demand for dollars and its effects on financial markets. Journalist Mariano Gorodisch explains that many Argentinians traveling to the U.S. to follow the national team are putting pressure on the foreign exchange market. He highlights that travelers are avoiding the 'dollar card' due to a 30% fee, opting instead for cash dollars, which are significantly cheaper. Additionally, he notes that this movement has led to a rise in the blue dollar rate and a decline in peso deposits, with fixed-term deposits in pesos dropping by 2 billion in the last 30 days. Gorodisch attributes this trend to low bank interest rates, which make peso savings less attractive compared to inflation and the value of the dollar.

The Argentine peso has experienced a significant rise against the U.S. dollar, marking the first monthly loss for investors engaged in the carry trade since September 2025. This shift occurred amid increased market uncertainty following the provincial elections in Buenos Aires, where the opposition Peronist party won. The central bank continued purchasing foreign currency but at a slower pace, while using tools like futures and dollar-linked bonds to manage exchange rate pressures. Analysts note that the recent movement represents a correction within the current exchange rate framework rather than a break from the established regime. The carry trade strategy, which had been profitable for months, now faces challenges as the peso loses liquidity and interest rates begin to rise. Experts suggest the government is prioritizing exchange rate stability over maintaining low interest rates.
