Last Thursday, the FIU and the CNV launched measures to curb speculative operations in relation to the financial quotations of the dollar, which made the price of the MEP dollar and the cash with liquidation jump and also gave impetus to the blue.

Among other points, the Mutual Investment Funds were obliged to reorder their portfolios and thus transfer some US $ 150 million to the market.

Payment Management Rise of the financial dollar

Measured by the exchange rate that arises from counted with liquidation (CCL), Argentina leads the world podium.

According to calculations of GMA CapitalIn the ranking of the currencies against the dollar in 2020, the Argentine peso is the most devalued. The variation of the exchange rate so far this year in the different countries is as follows:

1- Against the Argentine peso (measured by the CCL) the dollar rises 49.4%.

2- The greenback against the Brazilian real climbs 39.3% (on Friday it closed 5.58 reais).

3-The exchange rate in Russia (read, versus the ruble) rises 36%.

4-The dollar against the Mexican peso appreciates 32% in these first months of the year.

5-The US currency it gains 23.4% versus the Colombian peso.

Of course, the official exchange rate (as it was said, inaccessible to any mortal) rises 11% so far this 2020, which somehow reflects a certain “backwardness” in comparison with the region’s currencies.

Furthermore, the problem for Argentina is how the gap between the official and the parallel value was exacerbated. Taking the CCL the distance with which the BCRA “sells” is 68.5%. Although the cash with liquidation rises 50 percent this year, adding what happened in 2018 and 2019 already almost climbs more than 85 percent.

Of course, the big question is where the financial exchange rate can go and how far the gap would go. In your weekly report, Delphos Investment He says that -based on some assumptions and simulations- the “cash count” could reach a level of 140/160 pesos per dollar at the end of the year.

“If the depreciation rate of the official exchange rate allowed to raise the price by $ 80 by the end of the year, then we would be talking about a gap level of between 75% and 100%”, estimates Delphos.
